A note left by the stable builders

Four large stables were constructed in the tower in May 1939 when war was threatening. This note, along with a cigarette card of the time, was found in a rusty tobacco tin at the end of an inserted stable beam. One wonders if the stables here, and perhaps elsewhere, were built in anticipation of war and the probable shortage of motor fuel. The horse was then still a fairly routine means of haulage and the war may have given them renewed usefulness.
