SNN107969 - Archaeological Building Assessment at Blatherwycke Hall Stables, Northamptonshire, March 2008

The stables at Blatherwycke Hall, Northamptonshire were built in 1770 by Donatus O'Brien to replace those which were formerly located in one of the two pavilions attached to the now demolished hall. The existing stables comprise a large C shaped range which presents two distinctly different facades: those facing the former gardens to the south of the house are finely finished and furnished with doors and windows, those facing the entrnace drive are less well finished and entirely plain with no openings apart from the central carriage arch. The stables have suffered from unsympathetic modern alterations and some collapse, but retain some elements of high quality fixtures and fittings.
