Description

The stable block, located approximately 20 meters northeast of Thame Park House, was built around 1745, likely by William Smith of Warwick for the 6th Viscount Wenman, and has undergone later alterations. It is constructed of coursed stone rubble with stone ashlar dressings and features an old plain-tile hipped roof with brick ridge stacks. The building has a U-shaped courtyard plan, consisting of a two-storey, seven-bay central section flanked by two-storey, seven-bay cross-wings on either side. Each elevation is arranged in a 3:1:3 pattern, with the central bays projecting outward. The central carriageway includes a round-arched tympanum with a two-light leaded casement. There are arcades of three blind arches on both sides, each with lunette windows. A flat stone band runs between the ground and first floors, and the first floor has two-light casements. A dentil course is present at the eaves, and the cross-wings have similar window arrangements, though they have been altered over time. The interior has not been inspected.
