Stables, Coach Houses And Gate Piers Adjoining North East Of Tidwell Manor

The stables, coach houses, and gate piers adjoin Tidwell Manor to the north-east. They were built in the early 18th century, likely around 1725, to complement Tidwell Manor. The buildings are constructed of brick, featuring both English bond and Flemish bond, with limestone detailing and a slate roof, some sections of which have been replaced with corrugated asbestos. The arrangement consists of three ranges forming a courtyard facing Tidwell Manor. The main range originally housed stables and included a carriageway, while the flanking wings served as coach houses, now converted into garages, and all have haylofts above. Gate piers flank the space between the south-eastern wing and Tidwell Manor.

The main stable range features a five-window front, and each wing has three windows facing the courtyard. The left wing incorporates a 20th-century garage door on the ground floor. The main range's ground floor includes a plank door with overlight leading to the stables, and a wide carriageway arch to the right, which initially had a low segmental arch with a keystone (evidence of this remains behind the current timber lintel). The right wing has a plank door with overlight for the stable and a low segmental arch with a limestone keystone leading to the coach house. All ground floor openings are topped with low segmental arches. First-floor windows are alternately blind and 20th-century vertically opening casements with glazing bars. The interior retains original, plain carpentry. The roof structure features tie beam trusses with X-apexes, utilising large timbers pegged together, along with some remaining timber-lined stalls, likely 19th-century replacements. The square gate piers have limestone caps; the left cap is topped with a limestone vase, while the remains of the right vase are in the garden. The wings have hipped ends, and some original small, irregular slates remain, partially grouted together.
