Building record 1372/1/2 - Stable and Garage Block

Grade II listed stable and garage Block at Henbury Hall. Probably formerly a barn with a 19th and 20th century additions. Built in the mid/late 17th century, it has a timber frame with brick infill and an outer brick skin. Wood was in plentiful supply as a building material in Britain until the 17th century. It was therefore the most practical material for house building. Timber framed buildings consist of a wooden framework (usually oak) that was infilled to created solid walls. Infill material used included wattle and daub, lath and plaster, brick and weather board. Brick nogging, (brick infill) was often used in the 17th and 18th centuries to replace earlier wattle and daub or lath and plaster infill as it was longer lasting.
