Quite an impressive building in its own right, now converted into living accommodation. The sign indicates 'residents only' off to the right. Owner Thomas Wildman spent much money restoring Newstead Abbey in the early 19th century following the lack of maintenance by various Lord Byrons. Wildman died in 1859 and his widow, left short of funds, was obliged to sell the estate. The new owner William Webb added modern improvements such as gas lighting and central heating. He also built this stable block in 1862.
