Barn at Cutlers Green Farm (EHER 37650)

17th century timber-framed barn.

2021. Level 3 building survey. The barn survives in good condition with little alteration from its original form. At construction, it comprises a three-bay threshing barn with a central porch on the south and a bay wide opening on the north. Although the roof is now fully gabled and covered in corrugated sheeting, it remained half-hipped and thatched until after 1938. The original external appearance of the barn was of lower weatherboarding with pargetted render above, and this survives on the south-west complete with original impressed pattern. The east outshut is original, while the west outshut is a 19th century addition. Later changes have been relatively superficial and include the introduction of concrete and the replacement of earlier doors. Diagnostic features suggest a date range spanning the later 17th or 18th century but when taken together indicate the end of the date range, perhaps in the first quarter of the 18th century. <1>
