History
The present Gyrn Castle was built for John Douglas, a Holywell cotton manufacturer, in the period 1817-24, and was an enlargement of an earlier house. The house was subsequently bought by Sir Edward Bates, a Liverpool merchant and ship owner. The stable was built in the third quarter of the C19 and first shown on the 1871 Ordnance Survey, at which time it has adjoining structures on its E side.

A small detached stable of rubble stone with a half-hipped roof retaining part original slate and part replaced concrete tiles. The N end wall has a stable door to the L under a stone lintel, with segmental-headed horizontal-sliding sash to the R. A shuttered loft opening is beneath a stone lintel. The rear has 2 loft vents.

Reason for designation
