Abstract: |
TR Projects were asked by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services to undertake an historic building assessment of the ruinous, Listed Building known as Bradgate Stables, Groby, Leicestershire. The building's deteriorating condition had been a matter of concern to officers at English Heritage, Leicestershire County Council and Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council for several years. In 2002 the decision was taken to remove the remaining, collapsed, roof structures and reduce the building to those parts of the fabric that either retained their structural stability or were capable of being stabilised with minimum intervention. The chief outcome of this work was to remove all existing free-standing gable walls and chimney flues. The surviving walls were then to be re-pointed and their tops capped to provide basic weather proofing for the future. In addition there was a requirement that the massive, clock tower with cupola roof which forms the central feature of the stables façade was to be retained, stabilised and made weather proof. The entire Bradgate Stables complex retains its Grade II* Listed Building status but is now officially described as a 'Ruin'. |
