Description
The barn north east of the house (Hawbush Old House, EHER 6436) is timber-framed, probably 16th century. <1>
The OS 1st-3rd edition maps display a series of outbuildings to the north and north-east of the farmhouse. It is unclear exactly which of these buildings is the 16th century barn, but this record has been mapped to the footprint of the largest building, immediately north-east of the house. By the 3rd edition, this building has several other structures built up against it, included what appear to be open-sided structures, possibly livestock sheds. The age of the other buildings is uncertain. None of the buildings are extant on OS MasterMap. Google Earth imagery shows they must have been destroyed before 2000. <2> - <6>
