Description
The stables at Church Farm, located approximately 50 meters south of the Church of St. James, date from the early 18th century. They are constructed from coursed limestone rubble and feature a gabled Welsh slate roof. The building is one storey high and has a two-window range. It includes timber lintels over a 20th-century door and flanking windows, as well as a late 19th-century gabled loft door. A 20th-century door with an overlight is set in a heavy wood frame in the right gable end. There are mid to late 19th-century one-storey extensions with Welsh slate and asbestos sheet roofs to the right and front left. The interior is noted for its collar-truss roof. The stables are shown on an estate map from 1721 and were formerly part of the glebe farm associated with the parsonage, now known as The Dower House.
