This building appears to be attached to the western end of Hursley House. It occupies three sides of a square, the other side being on the right of the photo. Probably originally a coach house and stables. It is now known as R and T Block. The keystone of the arch below the clock on the far side of the building has the date 1829 and letters which may possibly include WH. It is likely therefore that this block was built by William Heathcote who became the fifth baronet in 1825 ( http://www.hursley.hampshire.org.uk/history_of_hursley.htm#Heathcote ).
