Place & story

Carriage arches and limestone ranges

North-west of Sopwell Hall, two walled yards contain outbuildings dated to about 1870. Their limestone walls have dressed surrounds to doors and windows beneath slate roofs. A carriage arch with ball finials and adjoining niches leads into the eastern yard; further arches mark the buildings around the western yard. The architectural inventory associates this rebuilding of the estate’s working buildings with the remodelling of the main house in the late 1860s. [2]
