Type and Period
Description
January 2023. Level 3 building survey.
The fabric of the building indicates the substantial frame of a 17th century aisled barn that has been remodelled in the 18th century with the addition of a porch on the north-west side that has been reclaimed from another larger building and attached with iron fixings. The frame was further extended by adding a bay to the north-east end making a three bay barn into an asymmetrical four bay barn more typical of about 1800. <1>
