5.2 The Estate Yard<br />
5.2.1 Description<br />
To the north of the Stable Court is a second courtyard of more utilitarian single-storey<br />
buildings, mainly built of brick and with hipped and slated roofs but with no obvious<br />
attempt at a balanced or architectural grouping.<br />
Unlike the buildings around the Stable Court, these have been relatively unaltered<br />
since they were first built. They retain a series of large strap hung doors to the yard<br />
and internally have tall spaces open to the roof structures. The buildings seem to have<br />
been used only for ad hoc storage for many years.<br />
5.2.2 Discussion<br />
These buildings seem to have been associated with the maintenance of the estate and<br />
possibly the demesne farm and could date to the early-19 th century. They include<br />
what may be stabling and cowhouse as well as waggon and implement stores. The<br />
estate farm is mentioned in the 1822 estate survey and this courtyard may have been<br />
its original core.<br />
