History

This building appears on the Tithe Map of 1842 and was used as stables and saddle rooms with feed loft above; remodelling of the court in 1870s provided separate looseboxes. Probably early C19 in present form and built following extensive remodelling of house in 1806 and landscaping of grounds, just inside the site of the now demolished medieval precinct wall to N and probably on the site of a former building attached to the N Tower. The E side may incorporate some medieval masonry from part of the precinct wall, if this was its original line.
