Description
Barn of the early 17th century. It is timber-framed, weatherboarded, with the roof thatched. It has eight bays aligned north-east to south-west, with aisle to north-west and two hipped midstreys to south-east. The lean-to extensions are roofed with corrugated iron between and to each side of the midstreys. The barn has jowled posts, braces to arcade plate and tiebeams of irregular curvature, primary straight bracing in walls, and a clasped purlin roof. The aisle has been rebuilt to a greater height and lower pitch in the early 19th century, frame otherwise complete. <1>
