Purpose

Design for stables, 9 June 1777, unexecuted (1)

Notes

These stables were not executed. The design makes use of Adam's castle style, being a symmetrical, classically planned building, dressed with castellated ornamentation. In this instance it is assumed that Adam chose to utilise his castle style to compliment the medieval Brampton Bryan Castle. According to King the existence of this design for a stable block renders it unlikely that Adam's design for a ruinous folly (Adam volume 37/59) was intended as domestic offices. Other scholars disagree.
