Description

Barn, of the late 17th century timber-framed and black weatherboarded, with gabled, corrugated iron roof and gabled midstrey on south-west corner. It is of four square bays, with one wide bay on the west end, it appears to have been considerably shortened. The framing is unusual, with jowlless posts, straight bracing, arched braces to tie beam, 'V' struts and a roof with primary, low collared rafters, secondary rafters with high collars and collarless common rafters between. The primary and secondary rafters have joggled, low, framed purlins and shorter joggled purlins link the collared rafters, at high level. The scarf joints are halved and bladed, and some under-building of brick on north and east walls. <1> See: <2>
