Type and Period
Description
Barn of the early 18th century and extended in the 19th century. It is timber-framed, weatherboarded, and roofed with red clay pantiles and some corrugated perspex. It has five bays aligned approximately east-west with midstrey to the north. Extended to west by four bays, angled slightly to the south, forming an independent frame. It is half-hipped at outer ends and on midstrey. The earlier barn is of high quality imported softwood, probably Baltic pine, of fully pegged construction, with jowled posts and arched braces to tiebeams either side of middle bay, but no tiebeams between bays 1 and 2 and 4 and 5. <1>
