High Stables (National Trust Number 30003) The stable range to Studley Royal Hall constructed in 1728-32 by John Simpson and Robert Doe for John Aislabie. The building was probably designed by Colen Campbell and Roger Morris as racing stables although the north and south ranges were converted to service use soon after construction. In 1744 William Aislabie had one of the rooms converted into a chapel. The building plan comprises four ranges of one and two storeys arranged around a square courtyard, with corner towers. The east front comprises a seven bay arcade flanked by two 2-storey towers in Palladian style. Construction is of ashlar with a stone slate roof. In 1946 Studley Royal Hall was burnt down and High Stables became the principal residence. (4-6)
