Description
Former Listed Building Description:
Barn aisled on one side of the late 16th century. It is timber-framed, weatherboarded, and roofed with corrugated iron. It has three bays aligned approximately east-west with aisle and midstrey to the north. It has jowled posts, curved braces trenched inside heavy studs, arched braces to arcade plate and tiebeams, face-halved and bladed scarfs. The queen strut roof hipped at the west end only. The wall of the aisle has been raised so that its roof is of shallow pitch. A particularly valuable feature is the original threshing floor, of 16th century bricks laid on edge in herringbone pattern. <1>
