Stables Woollaton Park

No need to comment posted following Lou Ann's @louannwarren comment yesterday,
@louannwarren here you go Lou Ann a much better sense of scale to this image posted just you,
The stables are at the rear of the building in the single storey part on the right and continues back some way,
Stable and Ranges consist of 2 storeys with 2 ranges to the south built 1743, to north built circa 1774, a single-storey Riding School of ca.1829. 3 courtyards, 2 form quadrangles, the third a cart & implement yard. The formal front to south-east within 1743 range, with quare pavilions with pyramidal roofs to the north-east within 1774 range, containing dovecote to north-west corner, to the north and north-west single-storey ranges of brick outbuildings with coped brick gables, every days a school day:)

This is incredible, thank you for the information too. I have to say the horses stabled here belonged to the rich and famous of their day. One way to look at it is that horses were the only mode of transportation then and deserved good care. But, oh my, what a grand horse stable!
