Summary

Description

Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park Planning Authority

Constructed circa 1843 following the Disruption of that date which resulted in the forming of the Free Church of Scotland, Mansefield is a 2-storey 3-bay stone former Free Church manse with a lower 2-storey rear service wing. The building displays many of the characteristic architectural features of the Killin area. It is a strong example of this genre, with its overhanging eaves, timber bargeboarding and distinctive original vertical 6-pane glazing - a rarity now in Killin. Mansefield retains its setting and grounds as shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map. The Free Church itself was located to the North on the site of the present Primary School and was demolished in the 20th century. Mansefield is now therefore the only architectural illustration in Killin of this period of Scotland's religious history.

The East (principal) elevation has a central entrance with a 2-leaf timber door with 6 vertical narrow panels and a 12-pane rectangular fanlight. Above this is a gabled 4-pane window. To the left is a single light window with a gabled window above. To the right is an advanced single bay gabled section. The gables on this elevation all have timber bargeboarding.

The rear 2-storey gabled service wing has a later single storey brick monopitch kitchen addition to the North. Only one truncated wall in poor repair remains of the projecting byre/stable to the West.

Unusually for the local area all the stacks appear to be remaining. There are corniced stacks to all gables and 1 ridge stack.

INTERIOR

Largely modernised. The original room plan appears to be intact and there is a timber chimneypiece with tiled cheeks and a cast-iron slip and grate in an upstairs room.

MATERIALS

Coursed rubble sandstone to principal elevation, random rubble to other elevations. Predominantly original glazing, timber sash and case windows with largely 3-pane over 3-pane glazing laid vertically in distinct local pattern. Graded slates.

Statement of Special Interest

Mansefield is currently (2004) in poor repair.

About Listed Buildings

Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating sites and places at the national level. These designations are Scheduled monuments, Listed buildings, Inventory of gardens and designed landscapes and Inventory of historic battlefields.

We make recommendations to the Scottish Government about historic marine protected areas, and the Scottish Ministers decide whether to designate.

Listing is the process that identifies, designates and provides statutory protection for buildings of special architectural or historic interest as set out in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997.

We list buildings which are found to be of special architectural or historic interest using the selection guidance published in Designation Policy and Selection Guidance (2019)

Listed building records provide an indication of the special architectural or historic interest of the listed building which has been identified by its statutory address. The description and additional information provided are supplementary and have no legal weight.

These records are not definitive historical accounts or a complete description of the building(s). If part of a building is not described it does not mean it is not listed. The format of the listed building record has changed over time. Earlier records may be brief and some information will not have been recorded.

The legal part of the listing is the address/name of site which is known as the statutory address. Other than the name or address of a listed building, further details are provided for information purposes only. Historic Environment Scotland does not accept any liability for any loss or damage suffered as a consequence of inaccuracies in the information provided. Addresses and building names may have changed since the date of listing. Even if a number or name is missing from a listing address it will still be listed. Listing covers both the exterior and the interior and any object or structure fixed to the building. Listing also applies to buildings or structures not physically attached but which are part of the curtilage (or land) of the listed building as long as they were erected before 1 July 1948.

While Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating listed buildings, the planning authority is responsible for determining what is covered by the listing, including what is listed through curtilage. However, for listed buildings designated or for listings amended from 1 October 2015, legal exclusions to the listing may apply.

If part of a building is not listed, it will say that it is excluded in the statutory address and in the statement of special interest in the listed building record. The statement will use the word 'excluding' and quote the relevant section of the 1997 Act. Some earlier listed building records may use the word 'excluding', but if the Act is not quoted, the record has not been revised to reflect subsequent legislation.

Listed building consent is required for changes to a listed building which affect its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest. The relevant planning authority is the point of contact for applications for listed building consent.
