Stables to North of Ribston Hall

The stables, dating from the mid-to-late 18th century with 19th-century restoration to the interiors, are attributed to John Carr for Sir Henry Goodricke. Constructed of red brick in English bond with ashlar dressings and a Westmorland slate roof, they form a courtyard plan with free-standing ranges linked by high walls.

The entrance range, which fronts the courtyard, is two storeys with nine bays, the central three bays projecting. It features an ashlar plinth, a central round-arched passage leading to the courtyard, flanked by round-headed windows with glazing bars above ventilator slits. The central window in the three-bay sections is set within a round-arched recess. First-floor windows are six-pane sash windows with brick sills. An ashlar band runs along the ground-floor impost level, and there are ashlar dentilled eaves with a triangular pediment over the central three bays, containing a square stone plaque displaying a coat of arms (matching a plaque on the west wall of the chapel). A hipped roof tops the range, and a central cupola, containing a bell on a square base with a clock, has a lead dome and a weather vane. Single-storey blocks are present at each end. Steps lead from the courtyard to a first-floor door in the right return.

The interior retains 19th-century stalls and loose boxes, still in use, with hay lofts above. A new clock was installed in the clock tower in 1887.

The west range comprises a three-bay hay barn with a wide central double door featuring a round arch, flanked by round-arched recesses with ventilated openings. The north range is two storeys with three bays, incorporating a carriage house flanked by a three-bay stable and tack room. Some original 18th-century stalls are in the range to the right. The east range, possibly a cart shed with accommodation above, is two storeys with four bays; four round-arched openings have been blocked and converted for mid-20th-century use. A central stack is present, and the range is marked by ashlar bands. Linking walls incorporate buttresses at intervals and corners, with some ball finials remaining.
