Building record 4332/5/2 - Stable approx 12m north of the Old Bakehouse

Stable block, now converted to residential use. Grade II listed. The list description suggests that the building was constructed in the late 18th century, but subsequent recording indicates a later 19th century date.

{1} Stable. Probably late C18. Regular coursed lias with slate roof. 2-unit plan. 2 storey, 2-window range of plain casements with hayloft door between. 2 stable doors with 2 pitch holes and shutters alongside all under wood lintels. Included for group value with The Old Bakehouse (q.v.).

{3} Level II building recording undertaken prior to conversion to residential use. The former stables at the Old Bakehouse, Maidwell are typical of a small purpose-built stable block constructed during the late 19th century, partly built on top of an existing boundary wall. The bricks used throughout are redolent of a later 19th century date, not one in the 18th century as the listing has suggested. The mapping does appear to corroborate this; plans & photographs;
