Quarndon is a civil parish in the Amber Valley district of Derbyshire, England. The parish contains ten listed buildings that are recorded in the National Heritage List for England. Of these, one is listed at Grade II*, the middle of the three grades, and the others are at Grade II, the lowest grade. The parish contains the village of Quarndon and the surrounding countryside. The listed buildings consist of the remains of a former church, a current church and items in the churchyard, a hotel, an iron screen, a barn, houses, a well house and a milepost.
The remains of the church are in sandstone and are overgrown. They consist of part of the west wall and a little of each of the return walls. The west wall contains a shallow clasping buttress and part of a mouldedstring course, and to the south are the remains of a window jamb.[2][3]
The hotel, designed by Robert Adam, is in red brick with floor and sill bands, a moulded stone eaves band, and a hippedslate roof. There is a U-shaped plan, with a central block of three storeys and five bays, and flanking single-storey three-bay wings. In the centre is a projecting feature consisting of Doric columns flanking a tripartite window, and an entablature with a partly balustradedparapet, over which is a window with a moulded surround and a triangular pediment on consoles. The other windows are sashes under gauged brick lintels. In each of the outer bays is a central round-arched window with impost blocks and a keystone, and the other bays contain sash windows.[4]
The screen opposite the North Lodge at the entrance to Kedleston Park is in wrought iron, and was moved to its present position in 1916. It consists of a short length of plain spiked fencing, curving down at each end. Behind are openwork iron gate piers surmounted by lamp brackets, and between them are spiked iron gates.[5]
The barn is in red brick with a dentilledeavescornice, and a tile roof with copedgables and plain kneelers. On the north front is a cart entrance with sliding doors and three tiers of rectangular vents.[6]
A house and a cottage later combined into a house, it is in red brick with a dentilledeavescornice and a tile roof. There are three storeys and six bays. On the front is a porch and a doorway with a rectangular fanlight, and to the left is a doorway with a segmental head. The windows in the lower two floors have segmental heads, and most of them are sashes, and in the top floor are casement windows with flat heads.[7]
The house, which was remodelled in the 19th century, is in red brick, mainly rendered, and has a roof of Welsh slate, partly hipped, and partly gabled with chamferedcopings and plain kneelers. There are two storeys and an L-shaped plan, with a south front of six bays, the left two bays taller. The left part has sash windows with hood moulds, the upper windows with bowed balconies, and in the right part is a doorway and a staircase window. On the west front is a cantedbay window with Gothic glazing and an embattledparapet.[8]
The well house is in sandstone, and built into the hillside. There is a single storey, a central canted projection containing an open arcade of three pointed arches, over which is a band and an embattledparapet. The projection is flanked by single bays, the left bay containing a doorway with a pointed arch, and the right bay has a blind window with a pointed arch. Inside the arcade are iron railings enclosing the former pool.[2][9]
The milepost on the northwest side of Kedleston Road is in cast iron. It has a triangular plan, the upper part sloping to a gabled back plate. On the back plate is inscribed the distance to London and the name of the parish, and on the sides are the distances to Hulland Ward and Derby.[10]
The war memorial in the churchyard of St Paul's Church is in the form of a Saxon cross. Attached to it are low sandstone walls with chamfered and mouldedcopings and iron railings. The wall is divided by eleven stone piers with chamfered copings, and between the piers is an openwork iron archway.[12]
