Description
Barn of the late 16th century. It is timber-framed, weatherboarded, with the main roofs of plain red clay tiles, and the lean-to extension roofs of red pantiles. The barn has three bays aligned east-west with midstrey to north, blocked and weatherboarded over. A later entrance was made in middle bay of the south wall.
There are lean-to extensions on the north wall to each side of midstrey. It has jowled posts, cambered tiebeams, inclined queen posts, and arch braces below tiebeams are missing. The roof is substantially original, with later repairs and re-enforcement, and thatched until about 1970. The barn has curved tension braces trenched to inside of studs. Formerly no. 16/497 Grade III in the parish of High Roding. <1>
