Description

The stable block, located 40 metres north-west of St Mary's Hall, dates from the mid-16th century with additions from the 18th and 19th centuries. Originally built as a stable, it was converted into a ballroom in the late 19th century. The structure is made of brick and features a pantiled roof with a rectangular plan and two storeys.

The east front has an indeterminate number of bays, with a wide, 4-centred carriage entrance on the left and two additional 4-centred doorways in the middle and right, all framed by rendered architraves. There are four groups of 4-light round-headed windows on each floor, set within rendered square surrounds that are placed arbitrarily. A string course runs between the floors, rising over the carriage entrance, and there is a central hay loft door on the first floor. The roof is gabled with stepped gables on the north and south sides, featuring brick coping and moulded kneelers, and partly external octagonal gable stacks. An arched attic window is located to the west of the chimney on both the north and south sides.

To the north, there is a 19th-century pantiled gabled extension. The west front is similar to the east, set off at the first floor with an arched doorway to the left and four groups of identical windows that are unrendered, one of which has timber 18th-century arched fenestration. To the south, there is a single-storey mid-18th-century gabled extension that has been heightened in 1864 to match the main block, featuring a stepped gable and similar groups of first-floor windows.

Inside, the south extension has a wide 19th-century staircase leading to the upper storey of the main range, which is fitted as a ballroom. The interior includes plaster skirting boards and cornices, and a central octagonal stained glass chandelier cage that projects cupola-like into the roof space, surrounded by moulded timber and plaster.
