The Stables At Somersall Farm

The Stables at Somersall Farm is a mid-17th century building made of stone rubble with a stone slate roof. It stands two storeys high and features two stone mullioned three-light windows with dripmoulds on the lower floor. There is a central door with a rusticated surround, a cambered head, and a dripmould above it. The top floor has one three-light window, while the gable end includes one window and pigeon holes at the top. An external staircase is located at the other end of the building. The upper floor, which was once a dwelling for labourers, contains several inscriptions made in red chalk and soot from a candle on the walls and tie beams. These inscriptions date from the 17th century and are particularly numerous from the early 19th century, with the word "weight" appearing frequently in the later examples. Additionally, there are two small openings with stone frames beneath the external staircase.
