Late 18th or early 19th century timber framed barn, Creeksea Place Farm, Ferry Road (EHER 46872)

A five-bayed, weather-boarded barn with a later outshot, possibly a relic of the Victorian High Farming era. The barn is likely to have been constructed for intensified grain production during the Napoleonic war.

July 2009. Building recording. A five-bayed, weather-boarded barn with a later outshot, possibly a relic of the Victorian High Farming era. It is connected to an older barn through the tie beams but stud walls have been removed. The later part of the barn is likely to have been constructed for intensified grain production during the Napoleonic war and is notably narrower than the older barn. It forms part of the Creaksea farmyard, the house is listed (EHER 38772) and the barn is shown on the 1844 Tithe map, and may be represented on the 1775 Chapman and Andre map, but there is nothing in the carpentry of the Barn to suggest that it was built much before 1800. <1>
