Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import. 18th century byre with loft over, altered early 19th century. Historic building survey, 2022 The south side of the farmyard consists of a 9-bay timber framed building with a hipped gambrel roof structure with raking struts. The building dates to the late 18th century and appears to be of the same date as the late 18th century barn (MEX1009738) forming the west side of the farmyard. In its original form, the building was open-sided to the north and south but appears to have had a hayloft over the full length of the building as indicated by some east-west joists between the tiebeams. The timber framing contains some reused timbers and has a rough finish with relatively slight scantling. The building is approximately 6m wide and was constructed with two opposite pairs of longitudinal arched wind braces to each bay. The building was much altered later. During the 1870s the building was extended to the south with an aisle beneath a lean-to roof. The aisle was enclosed at the south side with a brick wall and timber framing enclosed the east and west walls of the aisle. During the 19th century, possibly during the 1870s phase of alterations to the building, a 4-bay granary was inserted over the east end of the building. A timber framed partition wall separates the granary from the rest of the ‘first floor’. The granary was accessed via a permanent external staircase attached to the east elevation of the Byre. <1> <2>
