Description

Monument description derived from merging EHER 49507 and 37352. 2020. Building survey. The barn is a typical Napoleonic war era building that has been remodelled from an earlier frame with serpentine trenched braces of 16th century style. The level of survival is low with more than three-quarters of the building replaced in the 20th century. There are some interesting Regency features in the ironwork and the splitting of a storey post to form two is innovative. Most of the building has been replaced in oak at the very end of the 20th century and a new porch placed on the north side which mapping and the Listing description indicates did not exist before. <1> See: <2>
