English: Rockmount, Church Road Probably the best of the suburban villas on Church Road, this splendidly spiky Victorian affair dates from 1873 and was designed by the splendidly-named Sextus Dyball. It is crammed with detail, in particular the bay on the right which has brick nogging and two demi-octagonal roofs. Grade II listed. Dyball was a speculative builder-architect who designed a number of buildings in the area. Jonathan Meades wrote of him that he was "a local builder to whom all devotees of inspired ugliness and sinister gracelessness will be forever indebted. Did Dyball know what he was doing? Did he have any idea of the sensations that his creations would provoke? It is improbable that he was out to shock. Rather, it seems that he ... subscribed to an aesthetic system that, although not far from us, feels chronologically, seems unfathomably distant – a vestige of an alien civilisation."
