Description

This stable block, located approximately 50 metres southeast of The Hurst, dates from the early 19th century. It is constructed from coursed and squared dressed limestone and features a slate roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, with a moulded wooden eaves-cornice and a central octagonal cupola topped with an ogee capping. There is a central gable that houses a clock, which is framed by an egg and dart surround and has an ogee-shaped lower part supported by a foliate console. The stable block includes segmental-headed casements, some of which still have their original leading, as well as a central doorway and another to the right, both with segmental heads and overlights. The clock displays the double-headed eagle-crest of the Morrises, the family for whom The Hurst and its associated buildings were constructed.
