Description

Barn. Probably C17, extended early C18 with later alterations. Weatherboarded timber frame with red brick (English bond) to back wall, right gable end and rear range; slate roofs. Original barn of 5 framed bays with 2-bay range added to rear in early C18, forming present L-plan. 2 levels; eaves hatch to left of centre with C20 half-glazed door and stable door to left; wide inserted cart entrance in fourth bay from left with door to far right. Interior: timber frame visible; square panels, much altered but some (including to cross-partitions) with original woven and wattle and daub infill. Roof of main range has short straight tension braces from wall-posts to tie beams, which have a mixture of Queen-struts and raking struts to principal rafters, double purlins: an unusual feature is the paired trusses to the first and third bays from left. Lofts on 2 levels except over cart entrance. Collar and tie beam roof with vertical and raking struts to C18 range. <2>

Much altered structure with a five-bay timber-framed original core mainly faced in weather-boarding – probably dating from the late-17th century – and an 18th century brick-built wing added at right-angles to the original. It has been much altered, with much of the framing replaced in brickwork. <3>
