Description
Pratt’s stables and kennels, Askrigg MYD34267 (c) YDNPA, 2023
John Pratt was a racehorse breeder and master of the Askrigg Harriers during the 18th century. He kept his hunters and pack of hounds in a yard behind the house he built on Askrigg’s main street in 1767. The kennels and stabling date to the late 18th or early 19th century. The kennels had a semi-circular enclosure attached and the long row of stabling lay beyond. The site has now been developed to provide holiday accommodation.
