19th century barn and stable, north-west of Tye Green Farmhouse (EHER 35944)

A 2015 building survey documented the 19th century farm buildings. The barn has a superstructure dating to the late 17th century, but was rebuilt. It was delisted in 2005.

2015. Building survey. Tye Green Farm in the early 19th century was owned by a local landowner, John Daubuz, and rented under copyhold leases to a succession of tenants before being bought by a member of the Pimblett family probably In the 1920s. The main barn (building C) was already in place by the 19th century and the general layout of the farmstead north of the house had been established even if the stables (building B) and the stockyard to its east had yet to appear. These were added in about 1875 and are shown on the 1876 Ordnance Survey map but were then only half as wide; the breeze­ block east elevation and the roof were only added In the 1920s, presumably when the ownership changed. The main barn has a high brick plinth of about 1810 but a timber-framed superstructure of about 1680 which rather implies that the barn has been rebuilt in the early 19th century possibly not on the same site, but such an event is not uncommon. At the same moment the west end of the north outshot was added, although It has been extended and rebuilt since, in stages. The timber-frame has a considerable number of replaced studs although several date from the 16th century and it is clear that It has been cobbled together from more than one building; this compromises its architectural and historical significance. The roof is of eight bays rather than the four bays into which the framing of the walls are divided but this is also a common enough feature, especially in barns which have been rebuilt. The quality of the structure is good but not high and the outshot is mainly featureless. The stables to the south are of about 1875 and were very ordinary when bult of red brick. In about 1920, it was doubled in width to the east and re-roofed; it has minimal architectural interest. <1>
