1929/2/10003 Stables at Crabgate Farm

II

Stables. Mid C17 to early C18, partially re-built C19. Timber-framed with brick infill, brick wall to rear and pantile roof covering. Single storey with overloft, and with 2 stable doorways giving access to rear yard, a single window and a pitching hole serving the loft, to road frontage.
INTERIOR: contemporary partition with narrow doorway between the 2 stables. Right-hand side (south) with tack pegs to either side of door, and hay chute into racks along end wall. 5-bay roof with chamfered double purlins, tie beams supported by jowled posts, and principal rafters not aligned with tie beams. Half-lapped dovetailed collar beams, and replacement collars bolted to principals. Straight braces from jowl posts to tie beam soffits. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: single storey stable to south, riding horse stables with C19 fittings to north.
HISTORY: Stables of this period which retain contemporary fixtures are rare, and this timber-framed example, despite alteration, is a significant survival.
