3/104 Range of Farm buildings surrounding courtyard at Redacre Hall II

II

Barn: C16, refurbished early C19, and later farmbuildings: early C19. Barn, timber-framed, sandstone rubble walling with sandstond dressings and Kerridge stone-slate roofs. 3 bays formed of 4 similar trusses with braced tie-beam with 2 short diagonal braces and collar above. Through purlins, pieces of which overlap at trusses, the lower ones windbraced. Barn originally 2-storey (so may have been domestic) but now has 2 opposed entrances with elliptical arches, the end bays having ventilation slots and square pitch-holes above. The barn forms part of west range of a courtyard of buildings. The north and south ranges have similar laithes with segmental arches. The courtyard facade of the east range is a carthouse with a 7-bay arcade of low, segmental arches, with triangular springers on plain square-section pillars. Above is a hayloft with 3 square pitch-holes. The arcade is now blocked and adapted into a shippon. The farmhouse forms the south-west corner and is not included in the list.

A beam dated 1603 is reported as being removed from the farm in mid C20, and very similar building elements can be seen at Birchencliff (item 3/101) (q.v.).
