Old Slaughterhouse, With Clock Face And Mechanism, Approximately 10 Metres East Of Lindrick Gate

The Old Slaughterhouse, located approximately 10 metres east of Lindrick Gate, is a late 18th-century outbuilding that likely served William Aislabie of Studley Park. It is constructed of rubble with ashlar quoins and dressings, topped with a pantile roof. The building has two storeys and three bays, with the left bay recessed under a continuous eaves line. This left bay features a blocked cart entrance with a wooden lintel and a wide board door set under a segmental arch made of well-tooled voussoirs. The two bays to the right include a wide doorway similar to that of the left bay, flanked by a three-light window on the left and a square boarded opening on the right. Above, there is a shuttered window or small loading door. The roof is hipped. On the left return, there is a two-faced clock in the gable, which was removed from the remains of the stable yard at Studley Royal House around 1970, and the mechanism is intact. Inside, the ground floor of the left bay is still used as a butchery during deer culling.
