Abstract: |
Beyton House is a substantial red-brick country house built in 1936 on the foundations of an earlier house. In the garden is a broad, rectangular pond which was shown with an eastern arm on a pictorial map of 1729, when it partly enclosed a large house, and appears to represent part of a moat. The coach house does not appear on the tithe map of 1838 and is likely to date from the 1850s and overlies the in-filled eastern arm of the moat. Its flint-rubble walls incorporate numerous blocks of medieval dressed stone which are likely to have been salvaged from the nave of Beyton church when it was rebuilt in 1854. The original building consisted of a central coach house flanked on the east and west by symmetrical stables with hay lofts above. Each stable contained three stalls which were replaced by loose boxes later in the 19th century. Two well made loose boxes still survive in the western stable, along with an external mounting block with moulded stone steps and wooden harness hooks. The eastern stable was damaged by its conversion into a garage, although part of its original brick floor survives. The building was extended to create a new tack room and log store before 1904. The roof was also reinforced with a secondary tier of collars and purlins restricting headroom in the hay lofts. Despite these alterations the building is a relatively well-preserved example of an increasingly rare 'gentry' stable block on a relatively modest scale. |
