The Stables at Burton Constable were built in 1770 to the designs of Timothy Lightoler, replacing an earlier Elizabethan stable block. Designed in a grand Palladian style, they reflect the importance of horses to daily life, supporting transport, farming and leisure within the household. 

By the 19th century, the buildings included carriage houses, stalls for working horses and hunters, and living quarters for grooms in the rooms above. An indoor Riding School was added in 1842, reinforcing the importance of equestrian life within the household. Many of these features can still be seen in the Stables today, revealing how they once operated as a working hub.
