Courtyard Stables, Entrance Arch and Tower to Former Haveringland Hall

These are the ruins of stables, a gateway, and a tower associated with the former Haveringland Hall, dating to circa 1840. Designed by Edward Blore for Edward Fellowes, Haveringland Hall itself was demolished in 1946. The stables are constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond, with buff brick dressings and a gateway. The tower gateway, in an Italianate style, is positioned on the west side. A two-storey range originally part of the stables has been converted into a house in 1993. High enclosing walls, to the east and north, remain with traces of buildings that stood against their inner faces.

The substantial entrance archway has a round head and is flanked by rusticated buff brick piers. The arch springs from moulded imposts and has raised brick edging bands which terminate in a lion-head keystone. Above the arch, the piers rise into a slightly projecting frieze with a modillioned base, surmounted by a modillioned triangular pediment. On the courtyard side, the rustication of the piers angles back into the voussoirs of a simpler arch, which is similarly topped with a modillioned triangular pediment. A two-stage turret stands to one side of the archway. The lower stage has a doubly-recessed panel with a central oculus and a moulded modillioned cornice. The upper stage features two open round-headed arches on each side, with moulded rendered imposts, bands, and keystones. A modillioned buff brick cornice once supported a pyramidal roof.

The west elevation, flanking the gateway, consists of red brick walls that are set back slightly from the gateway. A moulded brick cornice sits below a buff brick balustrade, roughly level with the arch head. The west gable end of the south courtyard range projects slightly from the wall and displays deep ground-floor and smaller first-floor windows within a strongly rusticated buff brick Gibbs surround. The roof is hipped and slate. The south elevation has 20th-century sash windows. The courtyard elevation showcases buff brick Gibbs surrounds to tall doorways, recessed multi-paned windows with rubbed red brick splayed voussoirs, and two smaller first-floor windows. Evidence remains for a single-storey gabled range that once abutted the courtyard side of the west boundary wall. Ruins of a similar structure remain against the north side of the gateway. Patches of York stone and granite slabs are visible within the courtyard. This is a rare example of Blore's work in the Italianate style.
