The Stables was erected circa 1936 ancillary to Edmundsbury which dates back to circa 1927-29 built by an Esher builder called Millen for Mr and Mrs Hird, a fine example of Blunden Shadbolt’s designs. Born on 31 May 1879 the son of a mahogany merchant and an Irish mother from the family name of Blunden, he started his early career as an architect in South Croydon, Rusper, Horsham, Reigate, Bognor, Margate and Brighton. Later in life he had an office near Horley station which he shared with estate agents Hallet and Ballard between the years of 1905 and 1909.
Blunden was also influenced by Lutyens architecture but developed his own niche and his typical trademarks were inglenook fireplaces, doors made from wooden planks and wooden latches and leather draw strings. The Tudor bricks and ancient beams to build Edmundsbury and the Stables were transported from Bury St Edmunds. Shadbolt not only designed new houses but restored many during his career, a list far too long to mention. His career sadly ended when he was knocked of his bicycle, had a fractured thigh and developed diabetes, then he died on 13 July 1949 from pneumonia. Edmundsbury and The Stables are now Grade II listed, and can be preserved as one of his finest works in Surrey still remaining.
