Remains of Trentham Hall: former stable block and service quarters

Former stable block and service quarters, designed by Charles Barry in the Italianate style, and built in the 1840s.

MATERIALS: built of brick with stucco architectural details. The east elevation is painted. Clay pantiles cover the roof. Rendered brick stacks with bracketed cornices. Casement windows.

PLAN: the L-shaped range forms the north and east sides of the service yard.

EXTERIOR: the south and west elevations of the two-storey former stable block and service quarters face the service yard. The south elevation of the north range is of seven bays with irregular fenestration with shouldered and eared architrave. The east end of this range terminates with a two-storey square block with a rusticated ground floor and first-floor quoins. It has a deeply bracketed eaves cornice and the pyramidal roof is covered with slate tiles. The first floor windows have cornices supported on consoles.

The ten bay west elevation of the east range has square window openings with shouldered and eared architrave to both floors, divided by a plat band. Towards the left-hand end is the carriage entrance with a barrel-vaulted ceiling that incorporates first-floor taking-in doors. The east elevation of this range is plain with small, deeply recessed rectangular openings.

INTERIOR: not inspected (2018).
