The Stables, Castle Howard

By 1770, they were in poor repair, and Frederick Howard, 5th Earl of Carlisle commissioned William Chambers to design a replacement.

[3] The stable block is built of limestone with hipped Westmorland slate roofs, forming four ranges around a quadrangle.

The middle three bays are in Tuscan style, and contain a tall arch flanked by sash windows with radial glazing.

The corner pavilions have sash windows flanked by flat buttresses with paterae friezes and ball finials, clasping a coped parapet with blind balustrading to the centre.

[5] Adjoining the stables, and the Walled Garden, is the grade I listed Victoria Gate, dating from the early 18th century.
