Abstract:		 From the reign of Elizabeth I until the C19th, country house stables were built for show. They were a highly important part of a great aristocratic establishment, and horses were often better housed than lesser servants. The best materials and quality craftsmanship were lavished on the external appearance of the stable block so that it would complement and enhance the architecture of the great house. Internal fittings, too were often impressive, and these riding stables must be clearly distinguished from lowly, farmyard stables. This paper focuses on the stables at Chawton House; the best-preserved (and perhaps only) Elizabethan riding stables in Hampshire. Unfortunately, early stable blocks have a poor survival rate, suffering radical remodelling or demolition as fashions change, with interior fittings faring even worse. A brief note is made of an early building at Chawton that seems to be associated with hunting or hawking.
