Stable To Former Burgh Hall At Sd 578 153

The stable block to the former Burgh Hall, which was recently demolished, dates from the early 19th century. It is constructed of brick in a Flemish bond with stone dressings and has a slate roof. The building has a rectangular plan and consists of three bays over two storeys. It features a stone plinth and rusticated quoins at the front corners. The central bay, which slightly projects forward, has a pedimented gable and a round-headed wagon arch with rusticated voussoirs, although this is now obscured by modern sliding doors. Above the arch is a round-headed window with stone imposts and a bullseye in the gable. Each side of the central bay has a tall window on both floors, all of which have keystones in the lintels and are now blocked. The sides and rear have various openings that are of no particular interest.
