History takes its toll on the plush Victorian stables
They would be more enthusiastic about a bucket of bran mash and a sugar cube, because the Coach House at Summerrods was built as stables to shelter a string of thoroughbreds,[url=http://www.fcgeo.ca]Ugg Canada[/url], plus the fine carriages they pulled.
The Coach House, now up for sale, has undergone some radical changes in its 170 years, not least its transformation into a home for humans instead of horses. But luckily the external beauties of the building have been preserved.
The Coach House was probably adorned so extravagantly with rococo pediments and other flourishes, because the wealthy owner of Summerrods, just yards away, preferred to look at a pretty view than a utilitarian blockhouse.
The eye of the 20th century's foremost arbiter of architectural elegance, Nikolaus Pevsner, was caught by the style of Summerrods and its stables, and he noted both in his 1957 book, Buildings of England.
Pevsner wrote about "Summer Rods": " . . . Late C18/early C19 with considerable mid C19 additions. Built on site of earlier farmhouse. brick with stone side piers, cill bands, eaves band and raised window surrounds. Central pedimented Doric doorcase with open pediment to ringed capitals. . . Round headed stair window with pointed glazing . . . A Doric loggia." And you could say the stables are even more ornate, especially round the eaves.
So who might have owned "Summer Rods" and splashed out on its coach house?
The property has been the prestigious home of a succession of Hexham gentleman. Amongst the first we know of were William George Algood and George Stokoe, who paid 6 18s 4d in annual rental for Summer Rods in 1663. And "Summerods" was the home of Ann Elsdon in 1759 at least, she died there that year.
There's speculation that a house then on the Summerrods site provided overflow beds for Hexham's workhouse. And by the 1770s, Summerrods was on the national map as the site of one of the Government's tax gathering innovations a toll gate.
The Cumberland Chronicle of 1777 recorded the plan for a turnpike road "from Summer Rods Bar at Hexham in Northumberland, via Nubbuck Cross, Whitfield, Clargill Burn south of Clargill House, as near the old Road as may be Convenient to Alston in Cumberland, and from thence to Penrith via Alston House, across the Tyne bridge there, to the top of Toutup Hill, then to Melmerby, Langwathby Bridge, by the lower part of Penrith Fell."
The spreading network of toll roads across the UK was a cunning plan to eke out the Public Purse, (sounds familiar.?) Don't forget that Britain was at war with America, right at the time when King George III decided to perk up the nation with a promise of improvements to the sorry road network.
Probably his ministers groaned silently at this royal favourcurrying, but some bright spark came up with the payasyougo scheme to make road users keep their own routes in good nick. That was the plan, anyway. But by 1800 an Act of Parliament was needed to bring the Summerrods turnpike into "effectual repair".
At the time, Summerrods was the home of Ralph Sparkes, and poor old Ralph was responsible for the part of the turnpike road which ran through his land. He was called before the Northumberland Quarter Sessions at Christmas 1799 despite it being the festive season to answer for "Failing to maintain the Durham to Hexham Highway".
It must have been a blow for Ralph. After being hauled up before the County Beak he only seems to have survived a few more years. A hatchment in the memory of prominent Hexham businessman Ralph Sparkes, dated 1805, is still kept at Hexham Abbey.
In 1896, "Summerrods" owner Broderick Dale Esq, a banker in Hexham, stepped up to do his civic duty. The Hexham Courant records his appointment as treasurer of the local burial committee.
In 1899, Summerrods again provided copy for Courant reporters, when they had to record the destruction of 20 tons of hay in a shed fire at Summerrods Cottage, just a few hundred yards from the main Summerrods house.
Then in 1904 came real drama, which has a direct link to the Coach House at Summerrods.
The Hexham Courant of June 11 that year relates the tragic history of the shopping trip of Mrs G Hogarth Bell and her son, of Summerrods.
Perhaps they had picked up some lavender water at Gibson and Son, the Fore Street Pharmacy, or bought young Hogarth Bell a new lamp for his bicycle at Joseph Johnson's Ironmonger's, next to the Moot Hall. They would have had no premonition of disaster as they headed home towards Summerrods Coach House, with Mrs Hogarth Bell at the reins of her nippy little governess cart.
The Bell equipage trotted through Hencotes and Temperley Place, then Mrs Hogarth Bell coaxed the horse to go left up the Allendale Road, opposite the Fox and Hounds Inn (now The Fox).
The wretched animal took offence at this move. With a bound to rival Darcey Bussell, he bolted with Hogarth Bells flying in all directions.
The lady emerged unscathed, but the Courant noted with regret that Bell Jnr. suffered "bruising to the face". Whether the governess cart ever made it back to the Coach House was not recorded.
