Stables And Outbuildings, Linton Church

The stables and outbuildings at Linton Church date from the earlier to mid 19th century. This single-storey, L-plan former stable block features separate single-storey, mono-pitched outbuildings to the east. The structure is built of whinstone rubble with polished and droved red sandstone dressings, and some cream sandstone dressings on the northern outbuilding. Sandstone quoins and long and short sandstone surrounds frame the openings.

On the west range, which faces the courtyard, there are five bays. A boarded timber door is off-set to the right of centre, with single windows in the remaining two bays to the right. To the left, there are two-leaf boarded timber carriage doors in two bays.

The north range, south elevation, has three bays. It features a replacement timber door at the centre with a three-pane fanlight above, flanked by single windows. There is also a square-headed gateway in the screen wall to the outer right.

The interior was not seen in 1997. The building includes 6- and 9-pane top-hopper timber glazing and small 9-pane skylights. The roof is covered with grey slate and has a piended design, with a raised stone skew breaking the east range. Cast-iron rainwater goods are also present.

The outbuildings on the west elevation of the courtyard have a large, square-headed opening centred in the southern outbuilding, while the northern outbuilding has a blind elevation. Both outbuildings have corrugated-iron roofs.
