16/137 Stable block, about 250 yards south east of Wimpole Hall
GV II*
Stable block. Designed circa 1841 by H E Kendall and built 1852. Red brick and stone dressings. Low pitch hipped roofs of slate obscured by blocked parapet. Triple ridge stacks with linked capping. Four ranges round a courtyard with principal range on west side. Two storeys. The west front is divided into nine unequal bays. The centre and end bays are wider and the centre bay and two flanking bays project. The bays are divided by rusticated pilasters which are paired to the end bays, and have stone rustication to the centre bays. The entablature of the pilasters forms the roof parapet which is surmounted by ball finials and the heraldic emblems of the Yorke family flanking the clock turret. The parapet is carried over the end bays of each side as a segmental pediment. The coach doorway is panelled as are the two flanking pedestrial doorways. Round headed coach entry flanked by rusticated pilasters supporting Doric entablature with pediment and surmounted by an elaborate clock turret and cupola with bell shaped copper roof. The clock turret has paired Corinthian pilasters to the corners and the cupola is enriched with console brackets. Inside the turret is barrel vaulted and the courtyard is paved with granite setts. There is a cast iron lean-to shelter. The North front originally adjoined the garden and outbuildings of the old Rectory (now Yorke and Marshall's Cottages). Reminscent of the style of English Baroque masters of the Office of Works School, especially Thomas Archer.
