June 1984. Grade II listed. A late 18th century part red brick, part timber framed and weatherboarded five-bay barn aligned East-West. The roof is covered with slate and is half-hipped. It has a midstrey to the South and original outshot to each side of the midstrey. There are four blocked semi-circular arched openings for dunging passages. <1> See photos <2>. April 2010. Heritage assessment. A late 18th century timber framed barn. The barn is a substantial brick and timber built seven-bayed building (not five as stated in the listing) with a central midstrey and Southern porch. The 330mm (13in) thick brick walls are approximately 3.25m (128in) tall with a stepped plinth at about 1.1m (43in)from the ground. Inside the floor is raised such that the plinth is only visible for 36in - exactly 3 feet. The barn is a typical building of the Napoleonic War Era which ignited the rush for farms to convert to grain production to capitalise on the grain embargo imposed during the hostilities from AD 1799 to AD 1815. <3> See also <4>.
