Original stone finish (42)

Woodchester Park Mansion was begun in 1856 and inexplicably abandoned, unfinished, in 1870, since when it has remained almost undisturbed in its secret Cotswold valley, as though the builders had just left - intending to return shortly. Every stage of construction, from bare brick walls to the finest completed stone vaulting can be seen, allowing a unique insight into traditional building techniques and craftsmanship at their finest. The mansion was designed by Benjamin Bucknall for the wealthy Catholic merchant William Leigh. Local stone was used throughout and French stone masons executed much of the work.

This Green Man (who has occasionally been likened to Star Wars' Darth Vader!) is the pair to No. 84.
