<strong>Denford</strong><strong>Park</strong>, Kintburv. Berkshire 5. Estate Buildings 5.1 The Stable Court The former Stable Court to the north-east of the house have been converted to other uses. These are probably the Stables and Coach Houses mentioned in the estate survey of 1822 prior to the sale of <strong>Denford</strong> by William Hallett - despite the Cherry coat of arms carried on its pediment. 5.1.1 Description The Stables are fairly utilitarian in design, being built of the local browny-red brick - with mainly 'glazed' grey headers - laid to a mainly Flemish bond. The walls are topped in part with dentilled eaves and original openings had rubbed brick arched or flat arched heads. The eastern range was presumably the coach house and is, and presumably was, symmetrical under a hipped roof. Facing the courtyard, on the west side, is a raised pediment set into which is Cherry coat of arms, carved onto a square section of sandstone. This seems to be a marital coat, with the Cherry arms on the left impaling the complex quartering of coats of arms of the Drake-Garrard of Lamer <strong>Park</strong>, Hertfordshire to the right. The arms are presumably those of George Cherry and his wife, Charlotte - dating the plaque to before George's death in 1848. Beneath the pediment are two renewed windows at first-floor level. Beneath that was a set of four wide openings set within a steel frame, probably an early-20 th century replacement of the original coach house doorways - perhaps associated with the conversion of the building to garages. i 1 1 3 1 1 1 These openings have, in turn, been infilled with later brickwork and door and window openings, probably dating from the later^O* century. The rear elevation is much altered and obscured, with four sashes at first-floor level. To either side of the main part of the coach house are narrow link walls to the flanking stable blocks, with arch-headed doorways at ground-floor level; later building has been added to the rear of these originally free-standing walls, flat roofed behind their plain parapets. Both of the side ranges have been radically altered; both have hipped and slated roofs. The southern one still has indications of its original window and doorway openings - in the form of their rubbed red brick flat-arched heads even where they have been blocked. There are also two round pitching holes at first-floor level with rubbed brick roundel frames. The central first-floor window opening, subsequently remodelled, has a keystone. -76- Richard K Morriss & Associates, Historic Buildings Consultants, Bromlow House, Bromlow, Shropshire, SYS OEA
