Description
The stables at Samways are mid-19th century stable blocks that enclose a yard on two sides, featuring an entrance archway and a clock tower at the angle. They are constructed from dressed limestone and rubble stone, topped with Welsh slate roofs. The building is single storey with a loft. The chamfered archway leading from the drive to the courtyard has a hoodmould, with a pointed garage door to the left and two-light chamfered-mullioned windows. The clock tower above the archway was built by W. Day in 1861 to commemorate the victory of his horse Dulce Bella in the Cesarewitch race at Newmarket. This octagonal tower includes a clock face, pointed louvred openings in the bell stage, a two-light chamfered mullioned window, and loop holes above the archway, all capped with a gableted lead roof. On the courtyard side, the stables have planked stable doors and stone steps leading to a planked loft door to the right of the archway, with a kennel located below. The interior features chamfered beams, wooden partitions, and tiled floors.
