Byre to west of Colville Hall (EHER 38051)

Late 14th to early 15th century cow house.

Late 14th or early 15th century, timber-framed, plastered and weatherboarded byre. It has a thatched roof and four bays with a crown post roof with cambered and chamfered tie beams and vertically strutted arch braces and halved and bridled scarfs to top plates. <1> 2012. Building survey. Though largely dilapidated, the byre contains good quality studwork and the remains of a crown post roof. Its close-studded walls are similar in form to the Grade I listed stable/courtroom building and it is probably contemporary with it, i.e. 16th century in date. It was the earliest building included in the survey. Externally the byre was half-boarded and thatched like the barn. The current roof is late 19th or 20th century in date. <2>
