BAYLHAM TM 05 SE 2/34 Stable range, 30 metres 9.12.55 south-east of Baylham Hall - II* A fine example of a mid C16 stable range serving a substantial manor house. 10 bays and about 35 metres long. The ground storey is of red brick, the lodgings at the upper storey are timber-framed, partly with exposed brick nogging but mainly clad with weatherboarding. Pantiled roof, hipped at right. 7 original openings at ground storey (some windows, some doorways), have 4- centred arched heads (some probably began as windows and have been converted to doorways). Several have boarded C19 doors. The upper storey has arch- braced close-studding of high quality. Several original mullioned windows; one at the rear is complete with square mullions and a shutter-slide; at least one window facing the Hall has moulded reveals and evidence for moulded mullions with individual arched heads to each light. Complete crown-post roof; the posts are tall and square with thin 2-way braces. In C17, long rafter braces, purlins and struts were introduced. Heavy unmoulded 1st floor members; at the right-hand cell (used for stabling riding horses) the upper floor structure has been removed. A C20 asbestos-clad grain store is attached to the rear.
