Description
Range of workshops north of the stable block gardens, adjoining the north tower. Small and single storey. Appear to be part of the original design of the stable block. They incorporate the same stone columns that surround the two possible drying yards to the immediate south. In the north-east corner of the workshops there are the fittings for a laundry or feed copper. The basin from the copper survives but is not in-situ. The laundry or copper is served by a flue and firebox on the east wall.
