Scope and Content Stable, Corseyard Farm, Dumfries & Galloway, from south Corseyard is an elaborate, early 20th-century, dairy steading on Knockbrex estate, 8.8km south of Gatehouse of Fleet. Unique in south-west Scotland as a model dairy farm of the period, Corseyard was built for James Brown, a wealthy cloth merchant from Manchester, who bought the estate in 1895. This shows the stables which formed part of the steading, dominated by a six-storeyed, medieval-style turreted tower. The stable has depressed (flattened) arched windows and its roof is made of red asbestos tiles set in a diamond pattern with a double row of decorative salt-glazed pantiles below. The elaborate architecture of Corseyard would seem to have been influenced by the Arts and Crafts Movement, a style popular between 1860 and 1925. Inspired by the great medieval cathedrals, it sought to create beauty in a dreary industrial age through the use of fine craftsmanship and attractive materials. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
