Stable Block Circa 20 Yards To North West Of Doddington Hall

The stable block, located approximately 20 yards northwest of Doddington Hall, was built between 1777 and 1790 by Samuel Wyatt. It is constructed of red Flemish bond brick with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof with lead flashings and a wooden cupola. The building is single and two storeys high, with an east facade that has nine bays. The central projecting bay is two storeys tall and topped with a pedimental gable. An ashlar plinth runs along the entire building.

The central driftway is currently blocked and contains a wicket door. On either side of the driftway are blank rectangular panels with stone sills and flat arched heads, along with an ashlar band at the level of the springing of the arch. Above the driftway is a central Diocletian window, separated from it by a wooden lintel, with circular ashlar roundels in the spandrels. A circular 19th-century clock face is set into the pedimental gable, inscribed with "Joyce of Whitchurch," and features the lower section of a wooden bellcote above.

Flanking the central bay are single-storey ranges of three bays, each with sash windows consisting of three by four panes, stone sills, and flat arched lintels. A moulded cornice runs along the top of the wall. At either end of the building, there are two-bay single-storey ranges that project slightly, featuring ground floor windows of three by four sash panes and Diocletian windows on the first floors, all topped with hipped roofs.

The rear of the stable block is similar to the eastern front, except that the central driftway is not blocked, although the extreme right-hand ground floor window is. Inside the driftway, there are four bays with round-headed archways on either side, leading to sunken doorways for the loose boxes and hay lofts. Each side has two central doors with circular ashlar-framed pitch holes above. Inside, two ranges of loose boxes remain. The design and layout of the stables are comparable to those at Tatton Park in Macclesfield.
