SJ95NE ABBEY GREEN ROAD 611-1/1/9 (East side) 13/04/51 West stable range at Dieu-la-Cres Abbey Farm (Formerly Listed as: ABBEY GREEN Farm buildings of Dieu-la-Cres Abbey Farm)
GV II
Stable range. Early C19 (incorporating a stone dated 1817), using stone from the C13 Abbey of Dieu l'Acres. Coursed and squared stone with slate roofs. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, 4-window range. 3 double doors to right, 2 doors with flanking windows to left, in pointed-arched openings made from, or cut in imitation of, abbey stonework. Upper windows similar, the double doors to the right inserted in former window space, said once to have been French doors to balcony of former ballroom within. Gable end richly ornamented with abbey fragments, incorporating ogee window tracery, fragments of vaulting ribs and other carved stone, arranged in a symmetrical pattern. INTERIOR: not inspected. The building forms a group with the byre and barn (qv) and E stable range of Dieu-la-Cres farm (qv) together with the farmhouse (qv) and represents an important example of the reuse of old building stone, arranged according to a definite aesthetic, as a type of antiquarianism. (Sleigh, John: A History of the Ancient Parish of Leek: Leek: 1862-).
