Description
The carriage wash, located about 8 metres southeast of Stowe Barton, dates from the late 17th century and is associated with Stowe, which was built for John Grenville, Earl of Bath, in 1679. It features slatestone rubble walls near the site of the Stowe stables. There is a low wall adjoining the road and a taller parallel wall that has pilaster buttresses and rough, irregular stone capping, positioned about 5 metres from the lower wall. A shallow pit exists between the two walls. Gascoyne's map of the Grenville estate from 1694 illustrates the oblong carriage wash, which has survived and was in use until the arrival of the tractor.
