Mid-late 19th century barn 50m south-east of Nazeing Lodge Farmhouse (EHER 33594)
Please read our guidance about the use of Essex Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
This barn was listed at Grade II and believed to be a late 17th-early 18th century timber-framed barn. However, survey work in the early 2000s revealed that this dating is incorrect. Map evidence indicates that the barn cannot pre-date 1862, this is backed up by the barns carpentry which is typical of a mid 19th century date. Its Grade II listed status was revoked following this re-dating.

Type and Period
Description
2005. Building survey.
Five bay barn is well built but does not date from around 1700 as given in the list description. Map evidence indicates that the barn cannot predate 1862, this is backed up by the barns carpentry which is typical of a mid C19 date. Timber framed and weather boarded built over five bays with a central threshing floor. The walls are Baltic pine primary straight bracing and the roof clasped side purlin with raking queen struts and a ridge piece. A pulley system used to drive farm machinery is an unusual survival. They wre bolted to the north wall at the west end and are ptrobably contemporary with the addition of a small lean to added by 1895 which housed the power source (small steam engine?) <1>
Historic England revoked listing due to 19th century date. Formerly listed at Grade II. <2>
