Summary
Dates to at least the early-mid 19th century, based on cartographic evidence, although may be older. Was originally thatched but has been roofed with corrugated iron for a long time. Appears to be a small threshing barn with a horse engine house on the gable end – a rare position if that was its purpose.

Barn opposite Old School Cottage: Unlisted
A rambling cob building, formerly thatched but now with corrugated iron. Appears to be a small threshing barn with a horse engine house on the gable end – a rare position if that was its purpose. As the most prominently located unconverted agricultural building in the village it is in need of sympathetic restoration and use.
