Description
The linhay and stables at Hemyock Castle, located immediately northwest of the Church of St Mary, date from the 17th or 18th century. They are constructed from chert rubble and feature a half-hipped roof covered in corrugated iron, which has replaced the original thatch.
The building has a long rectangular plan, with a four-bay linhay on the left and a stable on the right. The linhay has timber posts, with the taller section being open-fronted, although the ground floor has been later clad in boards. The stable includes a central doorway with a plank door, flanked by a small window on each side. Above the stable, there is a loading doorway to the loft on the left, and to the right, the loft is open-fronted, divided by a row of timber posts.
Inside, the stable is said to contain old wooden hayracks and a cobbled floor.
