Stables And Entrance Gates About 30M North-East Of Manor House

The stables and entrance gates located about 30 meters north-east of the Manor House were built in 1740, with some 19th-century features and minor 20th-century alterations. Constructed from ashlar stone, wrought iron, and topped with a stone slate roof, the building is a five-unit block that is one room deep, featuring slightly projecting wings on either side of the center, all of which are lofted.

The facade facing away from the road includes a plinth, with double-boarded doors on the left and a concrete lintel above. There is a small window with a cambered head and stone voussoirs, alongside a boarded stable door with a flat stone lintel and an oval window to the right. The center of the facade has a slight projection with two steps leading up to a boarded door that has a stone lintel and a circular window on each side. To the right, there is another stable door similar to the one on the left, while a wall beyond is obscured by a single-storey wing that is not of special interest. There are no first-floor openings, and the date is carved on the projection.

The gables have parapets with cross-gablet apices at both ends and in the center. On the left return, there is a plinth with a double boarded door leading to a pitch hole, a cambered head, and a stone lintel above. An oval window with a moulded surround and three keys is situated above this door. To the left, a curved wing wall extends back to the gate pier, which has a plain top that sweeps up against the pier. The pier is square with a plinth and a moulded cap, leading up to a ball finial. The wrought-iron gates feature double bottom, center, and top rails, with a decorative feature above. The pier and wall are mirrored on the opposite side, extending back to the churchyard wall. These stables were originally built for the Manor House and are likely of a similar date to its right wing. They have been incorrectly referred to as a tithe barn in the past.
