As mentioned, the plaque has faded but the wording reads:
The Stables
The stable block
connecting the Coach House
and the Riding School
was built to replace the old wooden stables
which were demolished around 1790.
Up to seventeen horses were stabled here,
the upper storey serving as accommodation
for the stable hands.
The original stalls, mangers,
drinking troughs and flooring
have been preserved.
The Stables are Grade II listed with the entry at the English Heritage website telling us:
1831, yellow brick, "gothic" clock tower. 4 semi-circular windows with stone band under. Now used as gift shop for the Garden Centre.
