Claydon House: Outbuildings

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Claydon House: Outbuildings These outbuildings, presumably a former stable block or a carriage store or just an entrance portico, are to the east of the main Claydon House but facing towards it across a courtyard enclosed on three sides. Even such a utilitarian building demanded embellishment and here a clock turret surmounted by a cupola and an ornate weathervane complete the edifice. Although it is not easily visible in this view the date of 1754 has been picked out in black bricks between the two side windows. This would imply that it just predated the commencement of the building of the main house in 1757. As ever it is good to report that the clock was telling the right time!
