Abstract: |
In January 2013 Archaeology South-East (a division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology, UCL) carried out a historic building record of Stanmer Stables, Stanmer Park, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1 9QA. The work was carried out to satisfy a condition placed on Listed Building Consent reference BH2012/00718, prior to the conversion of the structure. Stanmer Stable is a 'U'-plan building with its principal elevations facing into a courtyard presented towards Stanmer House. There is an additional range projecting towards the south-west. The building is of one-and-a-half storeys, except for the entrance block, which has a full first floor over a carriage entrance. The earliest part of the building is an 'L'-plan range predating 1778. At the end of the 18th century the earlier structure was incorporated into a 'U'-plan complex which incorporated a central entrance block. Shortly after this, the single-storeyed parts of the complex were raised and re-roofed and the inner walls facing the courtyard and the ends of each wing were faced in a brick Palladian facade. A south-west extension was built at around the same time and probably functioned as storage space or overflow stabling. The stables were housed in the central range, with fodder lofts above. Stabling for carriage horses were probably housed in the wings, along with tack rooms. Accommodation for staff was provided in the attics. The stables have been retained in their original location, with alterations in their fittings. The rooms at the end of each wing were probably the coach houses. |
