Stables built for the eighth Duke of Norfolk, 1701-04. (2)

The present Worksop Manor is entirely modern, the large quadrangle of offices and farm buildings being of the C18, and the private residence adjoining the S side being of the C19. To the W is a terrace with greenhouse. (4)
The 8th Duke of Norfolk, modernised the [first] house at the beginning of C18 … the Duke's new stable and office court still survive today. … demolished most of the remainder of the [second] house in June 1841. The outbuildings … were retained and converted into the present rather modest Worksop Manor. All that then remained of [the second house] were ... the screen with its Doric columns and triumphal arch designed to conceal the stable court. (5)
