Introduction
This collection comprises images and a report from historic building recording of the Grade II Listed stable block at Hillersdon House, which was prepared in advance of alterations. This was undertaken by AC Archaeology Ltd in September 2021.
The building was constructed in the late 1840s when the associated Hillersdon House was also rebuilt. It has a C-shaped plan, and historically comprised stables in each side wing with coach houses and accommodation in between, and with first-floor haylofts over the stables that flanked grooms' accommodation.
The building was slightly extended, at first-floor level, at the turn of the 20th century, and the internal arrangement at first-floor level has been altered in the recent past. However, despite these changes and the loss of fixtures and fittings the original layout, including novel lightwells serving the stables, can still be visualised.
