It stands in a small clearing just off one of the main rides, and is approached from the north. It is approximately a third of a mile from the lake and it is said that the ice was brought across in winter by estate wagons. It is nearly a sixth of a mile from the mansion, so presumably it was mainly used as a 'deep freeze', blocks of ice being taken to an ice-box in the kitchen when needed for domestic purposes. Middleton Park was the former seat of the Earls of Jersey but most of the parkland is now owned and administered by the Manor Charitable Trust. The main building periods were the early 18th Century when the first mansion was built at the southern end of Home Wood, the mid 18th Century when the mansion was entirely rebuilt following a fire, and the early 19th Century when there were extensive alterations to the second mansion which was eventually demolished in 1938 to be replaced by the present Lutyens hou'ie. It is hoped that further research into the Jersey papers may reveal the date and plans of the ice-house, which, from the appearance of the facade may be 18th or early 19th Century. The only mention found so far occurs in the Park accounts for January 1828, when H. Williams sent in a bill for £0.15s.11id 'as per bill for Ice house'. It is also shown on the 1882 copy of the 1842 Tithe Apportionment map. The structure consists of a stone-built, pedimented fabade fronting a short passage or entrance porch, succeeded by a longer, narrower passage leading to a domed brick-built ice-chamber. The passages are walled with coursed limestone and roofed with brick barrel-vaults. Both the passages and the ice-chamber are entirely covered by a large mound of earth and stones, rising to a height of about three metres at the rear end. Only the facade stands free of the mound and faces slifghtly west of north, the rst of the structure lying on the same axis. There is a step down at the entrance and at the edge of the ice-chamber, as seen in the diagrams. The passage roofs and arches are of descending heights, the last and lowest archway being a curious funnel shape, as it is cut into the curve of the brick dome of the ice-chamber. The weight of the vaults and earth mound is supported by these arches which are reinforced with relieving arches. Doors were originally fastened at the ends of the passages as witnessed by rusty remains of bolts and hinges at the rear of the first arch and the front of the second. The passages are floored with paving slabs which are just visible beneath the accumulated dust. It has not been possible to ascertain whether the main chamber is much deeper than the present floor surface which is composed of loose earth and rubbish. The appearance suggests that it is not egg-shaped like some ice-houses (e.g. Wroxton, Oxfordshire), but is of inverted cup-shape with vertical sides. There is a small space in the brickwork (a-b on Figure 11 plan 2) which extends for a further 20 cm. (approx.) into the earth and stone mound and a nail has been driven into the wall above, but the purpose of this hole is not known. The ice-house may, have been used for other purposes after its original fianction ceased and it was said by one of the estate employees that ferrets were once put in after the rabbits. It is not possible to determine how the inner chamber was drained without excavation of the contents, or discovery of the building plans if such existed. It should be noted however that Middleton Stoney lies on an outlying ridge of oolitic limestone, with much of the parish situated on an outcrop of lower cornbrash which drains readily, so that - 35 -
