| Abstract: |
The Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace consists architecturally of the mid-eighteenth century Riding School, probably designed by the architect William Chambers (1723-96) for King George III, and the early nineteenth century stabling and carriage houses, designed by the architect John Nash (1752-1835) for his son, King George IV. The buildings continue to be used for their original purpose and are amongst the oldest working stables in the world, run on a daily basis under the Lord Chamberlain's department and the Crown Equerry, and opened to the public by Royal Collection Trust. Within the Mews are carriages dating from the eighteenth to the twenty-first centuries, and two types of horse; the Windsor Grey and the Cleveland Bay. The horses and carriages kept in the Mews are amongst the best-known images of the British monarchy when involved in the ceremonial pageantry of British royal events. The Mews have also historically been used as the largest spaces within the Palace complex; the Riding School in particular has been a location for circus performances, and used to serve food for First World War troops on leave. However, although their streetside lies alongside one of the busiest roads in central London, the Mews' architectural and ceremonial history has never been comprehensively investigated, probably due to both their working nature and their overshadowing by Buckingham Palace, onto which they are joined.
This paper will seek to place the Royal Mews into their eighteenth and nineteenth century architectural context, and uncover some of the more unusual events to have happened within their walls since their creation. It will also look at the tradition and innovation which continues to influence the working character of the Mews today. |
