GV II
Stables and barn. Stables-dated 1726, barn dated 1750 and linking range late C18. Stables for William Mitchell, the barn and linking range probably for John Messenger. Coursed squared gritstone and cobble, graduated stone slate roofs. The 1726 block is of 2 storeys and 2 bays, extended by 2 bays to right and 5 bay to left; the 3-bay barn projects at right-angles, left. Magnesian limestone quoins to 1726 block; gritstone quoins far right and to barn. Stable range: board door between bays 6 and 7 has long and short jambstones and chamfered panel with an arched recess above with the inscription, "Wm. Mit / chell / 1726". Flanking and first-floor windows are square, with plain stone surrounds, 8-pane side-siding sashes to ground floor, board doors to first floor. The quoins rise to just below eaves height to left but have only 5 courses to right; the 2 right-hand bays have an identical facade and were probably added shortly after building work began. Bays 1-5: 5 evenly spaced board doors in plain surrounds; a taller round-arched doorway far right with raised keystone. First floor: boarded square opening far left, three 8-pane windows to bays 2-3. Hipped roof to right, adjoining the barn roof to left; a gabled dormer with clock face and wooden bellcote with pyramid roof and weather-vane to bay 5, above the round-arched doorway; short banded stack between bays 1 and 2. Barn: a central segmental arch with quoined jambs and the date 1750 incised on the two top stones. 2 tiers of slit vents to left; right bay obscured by attached stable ranges. Interior not inspected at resurvey. Interior of stable block: ground floor not examined at resurvey; the first floor, bays 2-5 is a long room with cross-braced roof trusses of reused timbers entered at the north end from a stone stair opening from the round-arched-doorway; the south wall has doorways to left and right; the wall between is plastered and has the remains of a painted baldechon (drapery) similar to that in the Hall (qv). The doorway to left leads into a room served by the end stack, not seen at resurvey. The long room is thought to have been a chapel and the inner room a vestry. N A Hudleston, Stainley and Cayton, 1956.
