Old Stables To Brodsworth Hall

The Old Stables to Brodsworth Hall is a stable-block and coach-house built in the mid to late 18th century for the Brodsworth Hall estate. The structure is made of coursed rubble limestone and features a stone slate roof. It has two storeys and is arranged in a pattern of one, one, three, one, one bays, with the gabled end bays and the central three bays projecting forward. The wings and additional buildings at the rear enclose a stable yard.

Notable architectural features include large quoins and a central carriage arch supported by ashlar piers, with an impost and a keyed round arch. There are flanking blind arches, and the blind arches in each adjacent bay are connected by a continuous impost band. The second bay has an arch flanked by small casements, while the end bays each contain a casement within an arch. On the first floor, each bay features a casement with glazing bars set in a plain projecting surround. Eaves cornices are present on bays two and six, and pediments adorn the other bays, each with a quatrefoil panel in the tympanum; the central quatrefoil includes a casement. Brick ridge stacks with tabling flank the central bay, with another stack to the right.

At the rear, the stable yard features a pedimented central block with stables on the right and a later glazed canopy on the left. The right return has a blocked, keyed, segmental archway. Inside, some original stable fixtures remain in the rear-right range. This building served as the stable block for the Old Brodsworth Hall, which was demolished around 1860.
