4/173 Stable block (Craft Centre)

GV II

Stable block, now a craft centre. Dated 1669 and 1882 the later date the probable
construction date, the other datestone resited, possibly from the building formerly
on this site. Serpentine ashlar with granite dressings. Steep hipped dry Delabole
slate roof with projecting eaves.
Rectangular on plan with central front entrance, now one room but formerly divided
into standings for horses as the paved floors indicate. Circa late C17-early C18 in
style with suggestions of Baroque in the cupola.
Two storeys. Symmetrical 5 window front with original 12-pane horned sashes, the
granite header and stretcher jambstones and wedged lintels emphasising the openings.
Wide central doorway with panelled doors and overlight. Paired eaves brackets. Over
the middle of the roof is a square clock turret with moulded cornice and clockface on
front carrying an hexangonal cupola; the entablature breaks forward over the 6
Tuscan columns and over is an ogee-shaped lead-sheathed roof surmounted by a weather
vane.
Interior has its original floor structure with heavy cross beams, and the original
King post roof structure.
This building replaces a similar probably late C17 building (shown in an C18
engraving by Borlase).
