Early 19th century timber framed 'East' stable at Morris Green Farm, Morris Green (EHER 80498)

An early 19th century, timber framed stable building, of which the two Southernmost bays are extant. The Tithe Award Map of 1848 suggests this building was originally longer. It abuts the North elevation of the mid 19th century dairy to form a NE-SW range and the Eastern arm of the farmyard.

August 2011. Heritage assessment. An early 19th century, timber framed stable building, of which the two Southernmost bays are extant. The Tithe Award Map of 1848 suggests this building was originally longer. It abuts the North elevation of the mid 19th century dairy to form a NE-SW range and the Eastern arm of the farmyard. The timber frame is weatherboarded and supported by a brick plinth. There is a split stable door in the West elevation, providing access from the farmyard. The roof is clad with corrugated asbestos and the pitch reaches lower than that of the dairy. The inside of the stable is clad with a variety of boards mostly fastened with wrought iron nails. There are no historic fittings in the building. There is a hay rack with tether ring and a butler sink on a poor quality home-made timber stand. This does not look strong enough to be used as a horse trough so it was probably used for general washing. There is no visible water supply. <1>
