Type and Period

Description

August 1986. Grade II listed. An 18th or 19th century timber framed and weatherboarded five-bay barn on a brick plinth. The roof is covered in corrugated asbestos. There is a South gabled midstrey to the left and double vertically boarded doors. <1> See photos <2>. June 1999. Heritage assessment. This barn is of five bays and is similar in size to the South barn (EHER 38631), but has an offset South-facing midstrey with only one bay to the East. It appears to have been built as a threshing barn and again has an outshot granary to the West of the midstrey. The granary unit, also on a brick plinth, is a later addition. The barn is clad in weatherboard with an asbestos roof. The barn has been converted to a grain handling and silo unit. This work has destroyed all evidence for the original floor system. The main doors to the midstrey have original hinges to one side and the original iron tie back hooks and plated staples are still in place for both doors. The lower opening was filled with slot-in boards. All this suggests a threshing barn of possibly the late 17th century with a granary addition in the 18th century. Sometime in the late 18th century the three Western bays were floored. The building abuts a modern 1950s/1960s farm building to the North and EHER 81590 to the East. <3>
