Warwickshire Hunt Stables And Kennels

The Warwickshire Hunt Stables and Kennels, built in 1839 by Hugh Williams, is a notable structure that serves as hunt houses, stables, and kennels. Constructed from brick laid in Flemish stretcher bond with stucco dressings, it features Welsh slate roofs and brick ridge stacks. The building has an H-plan layout, with a central range of loose boxes connecting the Master of Foxhound's house on one side to the front of the kennels on the left, and the head groom's house in front of the long stable range on the right.

The exterior showcases two-storey houses, each with a two-window range and windows featuring eared architraves, comprising 12-pane and 16-pane sashes. The stable block, also two-storey, has a nine-window range on the right, with a segmental-headed entrance leading to a house with a panelled door and stable doors, including one that leads to a former blacksmith's shop at the rear. The windows here also consist of 12-pane and 16-pane sashes, while the loft includes plank doors and louvred windows. The single-storey kennels at the rear left have segmental-headed entrances that open into walled yards.

Inside, there is a double row of loose boxes in the central linking range, with a central passage that leads to the rear range, which contains a similar row of loose boxes and stalls. The stables are designed to accommodate 10 loose boxes, 9 stalls for hunters, and 4 stalls for hacks.
