Roxburgh House

About Roxburgh House

Roxburgh House is a late Georgian mansion. A coach-house and stable flank either side of its forecourt. Notice the bellcast roof with the central brick chimney stack. You can gain an idea of how many rooms the house had by counting the chimney cans, each room having one fireplace.
Across the road from Roxburgh House is the former "Ragged School", now a private house (Number 51). This former school was for the education of children of the poor. There is a small cobbled courtyard between the school and what used to be a blacksmith's shop.
