Stables At Temple Newsam

The stables at Temple Newsam, now serving as a restaurant, exhibition area, offices, and workshops, were built around 1742, likely designed by Daniel Garrett in the Palladian style reminiscent of James Gibbs. Commissioned for Henry Ingram, 7th Viscount Irwin, the stable block features red and brown brick arranged in alternate header and stretcher bond, with stone details and a stone slate hipped roof.

The building is two stories high and has a courtyard plan with three bays. The main entrance is located on the west side, showcasing a central high round arch with a stone impost band, flanked by lower round-arched niches and small square windows above. A moulded pediment crowns the entrance, and there is an original "one-handed" turret clock with an hour striking movement. A louvred cupola is topped with a fine weather vane shaped like the Ingram crest, which is a cock, accompanied by the Viscount's coronet below.

The recessed flanking bays contain five or more windows with tall small-pane sashes, some of which are round-arched. The south side, which is also visible from the house, consists of three bays, with the central bay projecting forward and featuring a central pedimented doorway flanked by niches. The ground floor has tall sash windows, while the first floor has square six-pane windows. The segmental arches above the openings face a cobbled yard, which includes a mounting block. The stable block's layout is depicted on a map from around 1742, and a corresponding riding school block was never constructed.
