Monument record 3738/20/3 - Probable 19th century stable (demolished)

Built between 1772 and 1885 of coursed ironstone rubble. Now demolished

{1} To the north-east of the lowest building was a two-storey rectangular building which could not be seen from the road as it was obscured by a brick-built house which still stands. This building appears to have been a small stable and was built entirely of coursed ironstone rubble. The building is not shown on the 1772 enclosure map but is clearly present on the 1885 Ordnance Survey map. The building had a wide ground floor doorway with brick detailing and a hayloft type door at first floor level. Parts of this structure were still standing at the time of the evaluation and the ground floor appeared to be laid with modern concrete. The walls had been whitewashed and the north and east walls had been skinned internally with red bricks. It could be seen that this two-storey stable butted against the lower open-fronted building and can clearly be seen as a later addition between the 1772 and 1885 maps.
