5.0 ARCHITECTURAL AND HISTORICQUALITIES5.1 There is an architectural unity inHathersage Con servation Area, re sulting fromthe use of locally sourced g ritstone in theconstruction of both building s and bounda rywalls. Many of the historic buildings in theConservation Area have been co nstructed in thevernacular st yle. Their si mple, utilitari an form shave given the buildin gs a solid an d robu stappearance. Amongst the olde st b uildings inparticular, un ity also re sults from a similarity ofscale, so that whether a building has one, two orthree storeys it relates well in terms of proportionto its neighbours.Architectural Styles5.3 The S cotsman’s Pa ck at t he jun ction o fThe Dale and Church Bank, is constructed in theArts a nd Crafts style popular in the ea rlytwentieth century. It is in marked contrast withmore traditio nal styles and mate rials in theConservation Area, both archite cturally andvisually.5.4 Rock Ho use, o ff C hurch Ba nk, isdescribed by Pevsne r a s “a ne urotic a ttempt touse th e extremely he avy ru stication of Paine’ sChatsworth stable s for mod est dome sticpurposes.” (P evsner 200 2). This buildi ng date sfrom 1 830 a nd the u se of this grand iose stylereflects the status of t he mill owner for whom itwas b uilt. The use of ha rmonious buildi ngmaterials, ho wever, helps it to blen d into thesurrounding area.P5.1 Architectural unity comes from the use oflocally sourced building stone and similarity ofscale.5.2 There are exceptio ns, however, an dmany later buildings f rom the ni neteenth a ndtwentieth centuries, particularly those a ssociatedwith commercial and in dustrial de velopment, d onot confo rm to the unifying trend s. Re asons fo rthis include the choice of con struction materials,the use of polite archite ctural style and largescale. All these factors create visual prominencein the street-scene. Th e building occupied by theNatWest Bank on Main Road is a good exampleof this: it stand s out be cause its a shlar sto neappears comparatively light in colour, it is built ina neo-Jacobean style an d it overshadows manyof its neighbours.P5.2 The NatWest Bank stands out due to itsscale, architectural style, and colour of stone.195.3 1830 Rock House with rusticated stoneworkto window surrounds.Large-Scale Buildings5.5 There are some buildings in Hathersagewhich stand out due to their size. Somecommercial premises u sed si ze to make astatement and draw attention to themselves. TheLittle John Hotel, The Ge orge Hotel, the forme rHathersage Inn and Mill Bank Court, forexample, are con siderably larger than most ofthe surroundi ng properties . These buildings stillreflect the l ocal verna cular, con structed usin glocal mate rials, in a t raditional style a nd a s aresult they sit harm oniously within t he streetscene.5.6 Some buil dings were l arge out o fnecessity such as the mill s at Barnfield and TheDale. Others were large as a symbol of wealthand status such as Ea stwood Hou se, and mo stnotably Hathersage Hall.Historic Buildings5.7 Hathersage contai ns a hi gh number o fListed Buildi ngs.
