A Picture of the Stables

Towards the end of 2007, I was contacted by a lady who is the Granddaughter of the last gardener to be employed by the Gascoigne family. He lived in the house which lies north of the old hall, termed the “Gardens House”. Naturally his granddaughter enjoyed playing in the vicinity in her early years when visiting her grandparents, in fact visiting right up until the death of her grandfather in the 1960’s.This has brought to light some of the most informative pictures yet found and over time, as with the stereo images discovered early in 2007, will be the subject of a more complete analysis. But to wet the viewers appetite here is a picture taken in front of the now demolished stable block. The only known image of this structure! The Stables
