Stables (Approximately 20 Metres To North Of Swinton Castle)

The stables, located approximately 20 metres north of Swinton Castle, were built around 1752 and are likely the work of architect Matthew Ward. The structure is made of ashlar and coursed squared stone, topped with a graduated stone slate roof. It features two storeys and consists of 13 bays, with the central three bays projecting forward.

The ground-floor bays have semicircular heads with lunette windows, moulded architraves, and impost bands, although most have been infilled at a later date. Bays 2, 4, 9, and 11 contain 6-panel doors with moulded architraves. The central three bays are rusticated up to the impost band, with rusticated voussoirs above the arches. The central bay is blind, while the flanking bays have Diocletian windows above tripartite sash windows.

On the first floor, the walls are made of rubblestone with quoins, and there are 6-pane sash windows with moulded architraves. The roof is hipped, featuring shaped kneelers. A central square stone clock turret with a plinth and segmental cornice supports an octagonal arched wooden cupola, which has keystones and plain columns set on a two-stepped plinth. The cupola is topped with a cornice, a hipped lead roof, a ball finial, and a weather vane.
