Full description
Barn of early to mid 16th century date <1>. It has been suggested that this was built for William or Gyles Capell between 1505 and 1556 <4>. A lofty rectangular barn 101ft 6ins long, of red brick in English bond. It faces east, forming the W side of the entrance courtyard at Hadham Hall [1981]. The roof was replaced and buttresses added in 1902, and it was adapted as a school hall after 1949 <1>.
The barn is listed as 16th century, but according to <3> it belonged to the 1440s Baud family manor house and was contemporary with it. It remained part of the post-medieval farmstead [30907].
