Stable Block At Grimston Garth

The stable block at Grimston Garth was built around 1781 to 1786 by John Carr for Thomas Grimston. It features a courtyard plan and is constructed of red brick in English garden wall bond, topped with a graduated slate roof. The main range is a single storey with a central two-storey tower and three bays flanked by half bays. The single-storey cross wings have three and a half bays, ending in canted bays. The main range includes three pointed double-leaf carriage doors and smaller similar openings in the half bays. The central tower has a crenellated parapet and a pyramidal roof with a windvane.

The right cross wing has a central pointed door with intersecting glazing bars, flanked by pointed sash windows with glazing bars. The canted bay features windows in the form of a Maltese cross and has a crenellated parapet. The left wing contains three six-panel Gothick doors under pointed brick arches, alternating with pointed six-pane sashes with intersecting glazing bars. The canted bay on this side also has a six-panel Gothick door beneath a circular sunk panel that displays a heraldic shield, along with a crenellated parapet. The fourth side of the courtyard was enclosed around 1930 with walls made of non-matching brickwork, featuring gate piers and ball finials.
