Buscot Park: Stable Block And Attached Kitchen Garden Walls

The stable block at Buscot Park, built around 1860 for Robert Tertius Campbell, features dressed stone and raised stone quoins, topped with a gabled slate roof, gabled dormers, and stone ridge stacks. It consists of 11 bays, with a central carriage arch and segmental arches for each bay. A prominent clock tower with an arcaded ringing stage and cupola is situated above. The south side, which faces the kitchen gardens, is constructed of brick and is part of a series of 18th-century walls that enclose two former kitchen gardens, which are elongated and octagonal in shape. The walls attached to the stable block extend north from a gatepier at the southeastern corner of the north garden to another gatepier on the southern side of the south garden, also incorporating the eastern half of the dividing wall. The stone piers likely date from around 1890 and are topped with vases. A wrought-iron screen from around 1930 is present in the gateway of the east wall. There is also a detached section of wall that completes the two enclosures.
