Stable Block 25 M Ne Of Worthy Park

The stable block, located 25 meters northeast of Worthy Park, was built in 1829 by Sir Robert Smirke. It is constructed of colourwashed red brick with a slated roof and is a single-storey structure featuring nine bays. The building has a three-bay projecting porch that includes a hay loft above. The ground floor is supported by four Doric columns, which are complemented by a plain full entablature and two pilasters at each corner. Above the porch, there are three segmental openings, with the center opening serving as a loft door, while the others are blank. Additional brick rooms have been added under the porch between the outer columns. The hipped roof is topped with a large cupola that has a square base, featuring a clock face on each side. Each corner of the cupola is supported by a small Doric column, which holds a squat dome that contains a bell and is topped with an ornate urn. On either side of the central section, there are two-light casements with segmental heads, and outside of these is a wide segmental-headed opening for a carriage shed, which was blocked in the 20th century with a door or window inserted. The roof remains hipped.
