 The rectory stables dominate the landscape above the Hawkesbury flood plain, they form a highly visible landmark precinct.In the past the community has resisted attempts to demolish the stables and in recent times have formed a committee to conserve the stables.The brickwork and roof of the stables are evidence of early technical knowledge and construction techniques of the colony.If attributed to Standish Harris it is the only structure remaining from his period as Government Architect, other than a wall.
