After Monday’s discussion of Garbally Court, County Galway, here is the stableyard which lies a short distance to the east of the house. The U-plan building dates from c.1820 and was therefore presumably designed by the same architect as the house, Thomas Cundy. Of limestone ashlar, it is similarly severe in manner and, like Garbally Court itself, has a two-storey, eleven bay facade, in this case with a central pedimented carriage arch flanked by Giant Order pilasters. The north and south sides of the courtyard are of nine bays and the west end has a central gateway with arched openings on either side. For a long time this was part of the diocesan school complex, but now, once more like Garbally Court, another use must be found for the complex.
