<strong>Houses</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Lackham</strong> 2 nd ed 37<br />

Looking at the house it appears that the ro<strong>of</strong> and pediment were removed,<br />

the new floor built and then top and ro<strong>of</strong> put back on <strong>The</strong>re is a line <strong>of</strong><br />

decoration running across the west wall <strong>of</strong> the house that seems<br />

unconnected with anything but if the third floor is removed this<br />

decoration lines up with the base <strong>of</strong> the pediment. This would seem to<br />

suggest that the top decoration has been raised.<br />

<strong>The</strong> map for the 1856 sale, when the estate was bought by Henry Berney<br />

Caldwell, doesn‟t show any changes in the arrangement <strong>of</strong> the drives<br />

around the House from the 1838 one.<br />
