Plan Number 24, no information Unique Identifier A manor house dating largely to the 19th century with some 15th fabric. Listed Building Grade II. Building File Reference BF Also in the early 19th century, three houses were improved with Georgian additions - Roundells, Park Corner and Hazel Heads. At Roundells a brick-walled Georgian range replaced an earlier part of the stone and timber house, and this range had a cellar under it. At Park Corner one bay of the timber aisled house was rebuilt as a 19th century block of two full storeys, perhaps intended as a first stage in replacing the whole building. We must always remember the difficulties of carrying out such alterations as this while the family was living and working in the house, so that to rebuild only part at a time must have been the easiest way. The addition at Hazel Heads was a new wing, converting its long, straight plan to a T-shape. It consisted of a very superior parlour and a bedroom over it, with a cellar below and stairs to go up and down. Yorkshire Vernacular Buildings Study Group Website Website with records of building surveys carried out by YVBSG in Scriven between 1974 and Building records include Roundells.

There is some timber walling.

6 Roundells Manor I do not think I can add much about the village as such which will not already be common knowledge. The properties around the green were estate properties in which various employers of the estate lived as tenants. Roundells Manor housed the estate joiner. Somewhere, I will have all the documents about the house when I purchased it and about the restoration work that I did on it, but I cannot find it at present, so I must rely on my memory. The estate and the village put on the market, I believe in Roundells, with the old smithy on the other side of the entry into the yard behind the house, were sold to a firm, called, if my memory serves me, Bacon. They were, I believe, a York firm and they had a shop in Knaresborough market place which sold Bacon (yes!), ham, eggs, bread and such like. I understand that they were intending to open a bakery in the smithy. They seem to have had second thoughts and put the house and smithy back on the market. I bought them in February 1967 for, if I remember rightly, 3,400, and moved in, sometime in March.

7 Roundells Manor Roundells lived in Scriven from This nineteenth century building incorporates seventeenth century walling and sixteenth century masonry fragments. The house is formed of two parallel gabled two storied ranges; the left being of two bays with a recessed entrance bay and built of coursed squared limestone and gritstone with brick to the left. On the ground floor to the right is a twentieth century small-paned sidesliding sash with a similar vertical sash to the first floor left and a nineteenth century sash to the right. Between the windows at the first floor there is a stone plaque with a shield in relief. It is believed to represent the marriage of Robert Byrnand to Ann Slingsby in Below this shield are the remains of an inscription in Gothic lettering and another shield. The inscription is badly eroded but says in Latin IAIH DEO S DEO and comes from St. Robert s Priory after the dissolution in There is twentieth century brickwork up to the gable with irregularly pitched sides and stack. The right range is of seventeenth century red brick in Flemish bond with ashlar quoins on the left. It has twentieth century sashes with glazing bars in nineteenth century openings which have stone sills and lintels to both floors. The rear and left returns are rendered with twentieth century brickwork and openings. The right return is walled with inserted brick panels in position of ground and first floor fireplaces to left and a first floor fireplace. The right wall has stacks of reused stone. There may be some early seventeenth century timber at Roundell s, a fine moulded ceiling and also some fragments of earlier stonework from the fifteenth century but are probably not in situ.
