Stable And Outbuildings Range Approximately 10 Metres South West Of Burton Hall Farmhouse

The stable and outbuilding range located approximately 10 metres south-west of Burton Hall Farmhouse dates from the early to mid-18th century and early to mid-19th century, enclosing the remains of a 16th-century structure, possibly a barn. It is constructed of coursed squared limestone rubble and timber framing, topped with a pantile roof that has an eaves course of stone slates. The building is two storeys high, with eight bays and an outshut on the west side, plus an additional two bays to the north.

There are board stable doors at the centre and each end, along with another door to the left of the added bays. The doors in the main range feature timber lintels, while the door to the north block has a segmental header-brick arch. The structure includes two blocked ground-floor doorways and an inserted small-paned window in bay one. On the first floor, there are two square loading doors in the main range and five slit vents. The added two bays contain two X-shaped cast-iron ties at first-floor level.

On the left return, there is a rebuilt stone stair leading to a board door with a three-piece keyed lintel. Inside the main range, the west aisle has four principal posts, three of which are complete on padstones, and one top section survives with curved braces to an aisle plate and straight braces to tie beams. On the east side, the tie beams rest on the tops of the corresponding principals, with the lower parts of these posts built into the stone walling. The roof structure, made of struts and rafters, is nailed and likely dates from the 19th century. The flooring timbering consists of cross-beams fastened into the thickened upright posts. Originally, the building may have functioned as a barn, but it could also have served as a stable or byre range with lofts above.
