Visited 4th June 2000 by John Thorp. A mid-18th century (1720-1790) tack-room, later used as a threshing barn. Currently used as a workshop. In fair condition.
Cob built on tall stone rubble footings. Thinner cob over north doorway and east end built on wattling. Four bays. A -frame trusses with lap -jointed collar (1peg and spike each side) and mortise and tenoned X apex ( 1 peg). Two sets of back purlins and ridge. Most common rafters are replacements and were cut into the chamfered external wall plate when barn was given a slate roof. Probably originally thatched.
12.48 metres by 6.2 metres by 3.6 metres high to ridge.
Mid 18th century threshing barn built down gentle slope. Large opposing doorways to threshing floor, each flanked by pilaster buttresses situated east of centre. North one now blocked and south one contains 20th century door (iron frame clad in corrugated iron). Timber 2 light casement, possible original. North fixed light contains rectangular panes of leaded glass. 2 late 20th century windows to west. West end hip appears to be secondary and probably a half hip originally at east end. Loading hatch doorway at west end of south wall probably original (no frame or door). In late 19th century the engine house was built in front of it and it now provides access to loft over engine house. At same time a hole was punched through the south wall for a drive shaft.
