Type and Period
Description
September 2019. Level 2 building survey.
The garage began life as a two bay stable built between 1839 and 1876 to house the horses serving the occupants of the house. Between 1876 and 1897 the building was enlarged by one bay to house a well equipped tack room. The roof and timber-framed walls were completely replaced with 2x4in sawn softwood. In the mid 20th century, most likely the 1930s the building was converted into garages and in the late 20th century the building housed an agricultural machine, still in use in 1991. The building is typical of its type but is not a good example having been largely replaced through multiple rebuilds. <1>
