Date of Amendment

Name of Property
Manure shed at Iscoyd Park
Unitary Authority
Wrexham
Location
In the centre of the stock yard, between the stable and coach house and the walled garden.
History
Iscoyd Park was built in the early C18 and was extended by William Hanmer in 1747. From 1780 it was owned by Rev Richard Congreve (d 1782) and his descendants, who sold it to Philip Lake Godsal in 1843. The manure shed is in the centre of a stock yard created after its purchase by Philip Lake Godsal, and is shown on the 1873 Ordnance Survey.
Exterior
A near square open-sided structure with brick corner piers (except for a timber post to the NE), and gabled slate roof, which has trusses with king posts and raking struts. The E and S sides are entirely open. The W and N sides have coped brick dwarf walls.
Reason for designation
Listed for its special interest as a key component in the mid C19 development of a stock yard at Iscoyd Park, a relatively uncommon survival of a key building type in C19 agricultural improvement, and for its contribution to the historical integrity of the house and its outbuildings.
