Timber-framed barn and range of outbuildings to south-west of Walkers Farmhouse (EHER 35983)

A 2013 building survey documented the 16th century barn and 19th century stable.

2013. Building survey. Originally built in the 16th century, the barn retains its 7 original aisled trusses. The walls have been altered in the 18th century reusing many of the original studs. Thrashing doors were also inserted in the north side. During the early 19th century an asphalt dressing floor was laid in the midstrey and a second pair of high doors inserted in the western end to give access from the lane. In the 20th century the barn was outfitted with grain drying machinery and large grain bins. In the last years of the 20th century up until 2012 a self-service livery was operated from the barn and stables. The stables were originally built in the early 19th century before the 1838 Tithe Map only fragments of the roof remain. The western wall was rebuilt in flint and brick in the mid to late 19th century and altered again between 1885 and 1898. The roof was extended in the late 20th century to cover half the yard while the grain dryers were in operation. This was later removed and he roof was remodelled with a porch in the late 20th century and horse stalls built for the livery. <1>
