The Gate House And Stable Range To North Of Northborough Manor House

The Gate House and Stable Range, located to the north of Northborough Manor House, was built between 1330 and 1340 by the de-la-Mare family. It is the only remaining part of a significant manor house. A large 17th-century stable range extends to the west of the gatehouse. The structure is made of coursed and squared stone, topped with a steeply pitched Collyweston stone roof featuring coped gable ends. The gatehouse has a slightly lower roof line and includes a large moulded and chamfered archway. Inside, there is a narrow bay that was formerly rib vaulted, separated from a larger rib vaulted south bay by a cross wall, which contains an arched carriageway and a pedestrian way. The 17th-century stables are two storeys with an attic, featuring three widely spaced bays, three gabled semi-dormers, and three-light ovolo moulded mullion windows with cornices. The ground floor on the north side, facing the road, has a row of circular holes, while the south side, facing the house, has four-centred and round arched doorways.
