Description
July 1950. Grade II listed.
A nine-bay barn built in around 1500. It is built from red brick in Flemish-bond with occasional blue-glazed headers. It has one aisle along the front, and two midstreys. The main roof is ridged and gabled - the midstreys fly-hipped - and all roofs are peg-tiled. The great doors are absent and, having had modern windows inserted, the barn is presently used by the Golf Club. Inside the barn retains a late oaken frame, arch-braced, with jowlless posts, and raking struts in the aisle-roof. <1>

June 1962. Field survey.
The group of buildings which comprised the former farm of Canons is being converted into a club house etc. for the Harlow Newton Golf Club; in the process the barn has been gutted and windows and doors inserted. As much of the original fabric as possible is being retained.
