Description
The stables at Banks Fee are a stable block built around 1870. The structure features an ashlar tower and is constructed from coursed squared and dressed limestone, topped with a slate roof and ashlar chimneys. A wooden lantern crowns the tower. The building has a rectangular entrance block with a wider 'U' shaped courtyard attached at the rear.
The tower is two stories high, with single-storey stables on either side. At the base of the tower, there is a central double plank door set within a segmental-headed surround that includes a keystone. The imposts continue as a band to the right and left of the door. The upper floor of the tower has two 2-light flat-chamfered stone-mullioned casements with leaded panes, and there is a band below these windows. Similar windows flank the tower.
In the stable yard, there is a scratch sundial with the inscription "Labitur et Labetur." The stabling features segmental-headed openings and two later double-width entrances from the yard. The entrance tower has a pyramidal roof topped with a wooden clock lantern that has a leaded roof and weather vane. The stacks rise from the eaves on either side, and the stable block has a hipped roof.
