Courtyard Walls And Stable Ranges North Of Hutton In The Forest Hall

The courtyard walls and stable ranges north of Hutton-in-the-Forest Hall were built in the early 19th century by Anthony Salvin. They feature red sandstone rubble walls with ashlar dressings and flush quoins, topped with graduated greenslate roofs that have coped gables and ball finials. The red sandstone ashlar chimney stacks add to the architectural detail.

There are two parallel, two-storey, four-bay stable ranges that are separated from the hall by an inner courtyard, which is enclosed by high walls. An outer courtyard, also with high linking walls, lies between the stable ranges. The first stable range has regularly spaced two-light stone-mullioned windows on both levels and a segmental archway on the left. The rear left side has plank doors in large plain openings, while the right side features flanking two-light stone-mullioned windows beneath a panel displaying arms.

The second stable range includes four large segmental-arched doorways topped with two-light stone-mullioned windows. The linking walls, which are partly battlemented, are the same height as the stables. The wall in the outer courtyard has a segmental-arched doorway beneath a pediment that displays a shield of arms and is topped with ball finials. This structure is listed for its group value with Hutton-in-the-Forest Hall.
