Description
Wytham Abbey features walls and attached stables dating from the early 19th century, located approximately 15 meters northeast of the main building, along with gate piers and gates. The low wall at the front of Wytham Abbey is made of coursed dressed limestone, topped with stepped stone coping and gabled ashlar piers, flanked by iron gates. This wall is about 50 meters long and curves away past the southern pier. At the north end, it connects to a tall octagonal gate pier and a high wall to the east, constructed from coursed limestone rubble with a crenellated ashlar parapet that extends over the gable end. This section includes a reset early 14th-century two-light window and is part of the 18th-century stable block that was remodeled in the early 19th century. The stables are approximately 40 meters long and L-shaped, with the lower arm measuring about 20 meters and attached to the Church of All Saints. This section incorporates a 15th-century moulded stone doorway from the now-demolished Cumnor Place, which was taken down in 1811. The structures are included for their group value.
