Old Hutt outbuilding

On the west side of the moated enclosure was an outer precinct containing farm buildings. Until 1960 these were grouped in three ranges. Most were mainly 19thc., but three of them at least were earlier in origin. The northern half of the west range contained a building identified as a stable block (pictured). The lower stone built part was attributable to the early 17thc; one of its two doorways bore the inscription 'John Ireland 1603'. By 1960, the upper storey, originally timber-framed, had been rebuilt in brick. [Wrathmell]
