GV II

Ranges of stables on the north and east sides sides of the
Main Yard of Childwick Bury Stud. Circa 1888. Possibly by
Col.R.W. Edis FRIBA. For Sir John Blundell Maple, founder of
the stud. Ranges mainly timber frame with weather boarding
cladding, painted on front and tarred at rear, on brick
plinths; otherwise red brick; plain tile roofs, hipped at the
ends of the ranges, with patent ceramic ventilating ridge
tiles; a taller cross gable in the centre of each range.
Plan: L plan of two long ranges facing onto the yard, both
ranges comprising a total of 34 numbered horse boxes including
four wider foaling boxes; the central box on the east side
projects to rear; adjoining the south end of the east range
and extending to the east a short range in brick containing
feed and tack rooms.
Exterior: each box has a stable door with cast iron strap
hinges and to the side of each door a vertical slatted vent
panel; above the central box in each range the cross gable
facing the yard has weatherboard cladding, barge boards with
scalloped and pierced boards under the verges, and knopped
apex finials; in the cross gable in the north range a clock;
at the rear of the east range the cross-gabled, projecting end
of the central box, built of brick, has widely projecting
gable verges braced by a collar tie supported at each end on a
shaped bracket with the feet of the verges supported on
similar brackets, in the centre of the wall a large doorway
with segmental brick-arched head and in the gable a small
oculus with side-hung sash. Interiors: between the boxes
vertical board partitions covered in part by metal strapping,
brick paved floors laid to drains, open roof with queen post
trusses, in each box to rear two original corner mangers faced
in vertical boarding and zinc lined.
Ranges are complete and unaltered examples of late C19 stables
and part of important group of stud farm buildings facing the
Main Yard which includes the Stud House, formerly Childwick
Hall [qv] and the Stallion Boxes, Trophy Room, and Covering
Yard (qv].
