TATENHILL C.P. RANGEMORE SK 12 SE 5/106 Stables, entrance 21.2.86 arch and railings approximately 100m north-east of The Lawns GV II

Stables and entrance arch. Circa 1900. Red brick, rendered to entrance arch; hipped slate roofs; twin and triple-shafted ridge stacks with cornices. U-shaped plan around a cobbled courtyard open to the east but part-screened by a rendered 'triumphal' entrance arch: a taller pedimented centre arch with octagonal bellcote over and clock, is flanked by 2 pedestrian arches, with projecting even quoins and surmounted by dentilled cornices at the impost level of the main arch; all the arches have raised keystones and the centre has a coffered intrados; short screens of spearhead cast iron railings (and pedestrian gates) set on dwarf walls connect the entrance to the stables. This 2-storey block has light (possibly not intended) colour banding and cogged eaves; the sides are of 9 bays with sashes to the left and casements to the right wings; 5 segmental-headed coach entries to the left and stables and offices to the right and centre; the right- hand wing is finished to the east end with a pediment corbelled over the eaves and substantial stack to the left and a single-storey addition below, with a 3-sided bay part-encroaching on the entrance screen. Part of a complete Edwardian mansion layout at The Lawns (q.v.), built for the Bass family.
