Barn to south-east of Duck End Farmhouse (EHER 37587)

19th century timber-framed barn.

2012. Building survey. The barn is a late development of the typical Napoleonic War Era interrupted stud timber-framed barn and incorporates in its design provision for an engine house. Shown on the 1838 Tithe Award map, it is likely it was built later in the years after 1812 when the standing farm engine was developed by Trevithick. Constructed with a large hayloft/ grain floor in the north end, it was built immediately adjacent to a very large pond which prevented it being approached from the eastern side or wagons being driven through. It was heavily remodelled in 1948 with a blockwork grain store in the northern bay and a completely new asbestos clad roof. <1> See: <2>
