Northern Stable Block

The Northern Stable Block is a stable block and quadrant wall located in Duncombe Park, built in 1846 by Charles Barry. It is constructed from sandstone ashlar and features a square layout with an open courtyard and a quadrant wall to the east. The stable block is one storey high with an attic and consists of seven bays. The outer bays are flanked by rusticated pilasters and include keyed round-headed recesses, with a window in the left bay and a door in the right bay, both topped with semi-circular windows. The central bays create a keyed round-arched blank arcade supported by rusticated pilasters, featuring slit windows. There is a dentilled cornice and a blank parapet, with corners that rise to the attic and include single 2-light casements, a plain parapet, and urns at the corners. To the left, a clock tower has circular louvres set in square recesses and a curved pyramidal roof topped with a weather-vane. A plain curving corridor wall features two small rectangular windows.
