Description
The stables at Manor Farm, believed to have been built in 1616 for John Harborne, are a notable example of 17th-century architecture. Constructed from regularly coursed limestone featuring wide and narrow courses and irregular alternating quoins, the building is topped with a thatched roof. It stands two high storeys with an attic and consists of six bays.
The symmetrical front of the stables is designed to resemble two identical structures, each featuring a chamfered shallow Tudor-arched doorway. The left doorway includes a 20th-century stable door, while the right has a traditional plank door. Above each doorway is a horizontally-set oval window, and the first floor mirrors this with similar doorways. Flanking each door are small two-light chamfered mullioned windows fitted with iron bars. The return sides of the building also have similar windows on each floor.
Inside, the stables boast run-out chamfered beams, showcasing the craftsmanship of the period. This building is recognized as a very fine example of a 17th-century stable.
