West Stable Block To North West Of Cookridge Hall

The West Stable Block, located to the north-west of Cookridge Hall, is a stable building from the early 19th century, likely constructed for Robert Wormald and converted around 1993. The structure is made of ashlar stone and features a low-pitched slate hipped roof. It stands two storeys high and has three bays, with a single-storey wing that projects on the left side.

The main range has a central bay that is pedimented and breaks forward, featuring an elliptical carriageway with shaped voussoirs and a keystone, a continuous impost band, and a round window in the pediment. On the east side, which faces the yard, there is a wide doorway on the right with a roll-moulded surround, followed by a lunetted window, and chamfered windows on the first floor above the impost band. The left side has a projecting bay with a Venetian window in the gable, while the right return has been rebuilt. The west front has small windows on the ground floor and paired slit vents above. The interior has not been inspected.

Historically, this stable block is likely part of the remodelling of the estate buildings that Robert Wormald undertook after purchasing the estate in 1820, which included the remodelling of a farm group associated with Cookridge Hall.
