Stables In the foreground people have surrounded the Olympic Torch which has arrived in Chatsworth. The 4th Duke hired the architect James Paine to build the Stables in the 1760s. It was unusually richly decorated for the time, and was as much a decorative feature of his new park as a functional necessity. It had stalls for 80 horses and staff accommodation on the floors above. Today the Stables contain restaurants and shops. Members of staff still work and live on the first floor.
