The Stable Block

The Stable Block, associated with the now-demolished Wiganthorpe Hall, dates from the late 18th century or early 19th century. It is constructed of brick in English bond and features a Westmorland slate roof, with a U-shaped plan and two storeys. The central range includes five first-floor windows and three wide elliptical-arched cart entrances. The side wings each have two first-floor windows facing the front and three facing the courtyard. The wings also feature round-headed 16-pane sash windows set in blind arches on the front and round-arched cart entrances leading to the courtyard. The right wing has a six-fielded-panel door opening to the courtyard. On the first floor, the central range has six-pane sashes and unglazed windows, while the wings have two window openings to the front and three blind windows to the courtyard. The building is adorned with a dentilled eaves course and a central pediment that holds a clock, topped by a cupola with a weathervane.
