Summary
Stable Court is located to the north of Green Court and to the west of the Queen’s Court and Brewhouse Yard. It is approximately square in plan, measuring c.32mE/W x c.34mN/S and the ground level slopes markedly from the south to the north-east corner. The courtyard is enclosed by the Garage Block/Barn on its northern side, by the Stable Block to the east, the King’s Stables to the south, and (partly) by the northern extension of the main west front and garages to the west. At the north-west corner is an entrance archway to the park, formed between the barn and the single storey garage range. Access to the Green Court is provided by a passageway at the west end of the southern range while doorways at the north and south of the Stables to the east give access to the Brewhouse Yard and Queen’s Court respectively.
