Abstract: |
1.4 The historic building survey of the former stable building at Breedon Hall has shown that the stable building has been considerably altered and repaired during its lifetime and retains few extant fixtures and fittings and little spatial integrity relating to its original function as a part stable part staff accommodation building serving the hall. The original brickwork of the stable building, use of larger bricks, Flemish bonding and the style of the casement windows within the northern bays together suggest a construction date of the later 18th century to the early 19th century and no earlier. This date fits well with the renovation works made to the hall in 1777, when the hall was remodelled to its present Classical Georgian style and it is plausible that the stable block was built as part of these improvement works. |
