Late 19th century timber framed farm building, Bradwell Hall (EHER 81566)

A five-bay timber framed building with low pitch tiled roof and weatherboarded walls which may have been a stable. The construction suggests a build sometime towards the end of the 19th century.

June 1999. Heritage assessment. A five-bay timber framed building with low pitch tiled roof and weatherboarded walls. The building runs East-West and is situated just to the North of a 20th century modern farm building. The building is constructed of machined timber and the roof is internally boarded. It has opposing doors to the North and South set at the inner side of the second bay from the West. The North door has inner returns to cover the ends of feed troughs. The Western feed troughs remain and posts remain as evidence for the Eastern ones. These are oak framed with staple and ring for attaching animals. Of the evidence remaining these rings do not have a consistent fixing centre but the smallest centre is 4' 6" which is consistent to use for horses. The building had its windows in the South side and a roof vent. The building appears wide for one line of horses but there is no evidence for a layout change. The harness brackets suggest that horse equipment was also kept here. The construction suggests a build sometime towards the end of the 19th century. The building abuts a modern 1950s/1960s farm building to the South. <1>
