Description
The stable at The Lordship, located 40 meters to the northwest of the house, dates back to the 16th century. It features a timber frame set on a low red brick sill, with dark weatherboarding and a steep thatched roof. The rear slope is partly covered with corrugated iron, and the back wall is plastered with brick facing on the lower part that faces into the farmyard. This single-storey, four-bay building faces east and includes a hipped, one-storey extension at the south end, which is also thatched and weatherboarded, serving as a separate stable with vent strips under the eaves.
The main stable has a distinctive internal structure that includes a passage along the east side, defined by an extra post under each tie-beam. The bay posts have swept jowls, and there are arched braces connecting to the wall plate and tie-beams, with one brace springing from the post beside the passage. The roof features queen struts with collar and clasped purlins, along with arched wind braces. The low side walls show remnants of wattle and daub infill in closed trusses, and there is some internal weatherboarding. The wall plate has an edge-halved scarf joint with bridled butts. This stable is an unusual and well-preserved example of a 16th-century building with internal divisions.
