Stable Block and Wall at Riseholme Hall

The stable block, wall, and piers at Riseholme Hall date back to the 18th century and were altered in 1840 by William Railton, with further modifications in the 20th century. The structure is built from squared limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof, along with concrete tiled roofs on the lower ranges and a yellow brick wall. The building has a courtyard plan and consists of a main block that is two storeys high and five bays wide, with the central bay being advanced and featuring an open pediment topped by a square clock tower.

The ground floor has a sill band and slightly overhanging eaves. There is a central semi-circular headed opening with a splayed and cogged surround, which includes a vermiculated keystone. This opening is flanked by pairs of semi-circular lights adorned with cast iron tracery and cogged surrounds. On the first floor, a central planked doorway in a plain stone surround is flanked by pairs of plain sash windows with pointed stone surrounds.

The square ashlar tower rises from a rusticated base and is supported by angle pilasters that hold up a modillioned cornice. The tower has a pyramidal slate roof and a bronze weather vane. On the courtyard side of the tower, there is a clock face with a plain stone surround, below which is a stone panel featuring intersecting circular decoration.

To the left and right of the main block are lower single-storey ranges that are set at right angles. The right range contains four large carriage double doors, while the left range has a central doorway with a semi-circular overlight with a cogged head, a glazing bar sash to the right, and double doors to the left. The courtyard is enclosed by a yellow brick wall with ashlar gate piers on either side of a central opening, terminating in similar piers, all of which have pyramidal caps.
