the house was destroyed by a fire for the second time in 1946 and subsequently demolished. The stable block has now been turned into a private house...

Dear David,
ReplyDeleteI find that I could quite easily live in the stables at Studley Royal!
The stable I have in mind for the house we intend to build will be somewhat smaller and yet I intend it to be small but stately.

The marvelous thing about stately classical architecture is that it is all about proportions, and not size. I am sure no matter what size, your stable will be grand. :-)
