by Percy Ginham, after 1889 Chief Clerk to Richard Norman Shaw who built the main

by stabling. Front has central 5-light gabled dormer forming part of clerestory
to riding school and central cambered arched equestrian entrance. 4 brick square

Side elevations have 6 gabled 3-light dormers forming clerestory to the riding
school and lower sloping roof to stabling. 8 fixed casement windows and 9 doors.
Internally the building is lit by the clerestory and the roof is carried by a
complex system of iron trusses. Boarded ceiling. Some later partitions and remains

interest.
