Description

The Stables at Brocket Hall is a stable block built around 1765 by James Paine for Mathew Lamb. It is constructed of red brick and features a slate hipped roof. The building has two storeys and seven windows, with slightly projecting central and end bays. There is a floor band and dentilled brick eaves, along with semicircular ventilators set in arched recesses on the ground floor. The first floor has square two-light casement windows. A central arched entrance leads into the building.

An early 19th-century red brick attic and wooden belfry are located above, which includes four arched openings, bracket buttresses, a moulded cornice, and a copper finial. The side elevations have three windows and continue as side walls to single-storey red brick rear pavilions, which also have hipped slate roofs. Between these pavilions is a modern rear extension.

Local climate

The Stables Brocket Hall sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 85% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 81% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 58% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
