Cruck Barn Approximately 100 Yards To West Of Arley Hall

The Cruck Barn, located approximately 100 yards to the west of Arley Hall, is an early 16th-century structure that has been converted from a barn to a ride in the 19th century. It features a stone plinth and a timber frame with brick infill, topped with a slate roof. The barn is single storey and has an east front with a stone plinth, comprising six bays and a through carriageway to the right. Each bay is divided into three horizontal ranges of cells, with the lowest range containing two cells separated by a central post, and the middle range featuring four cells with end-butted clapboard infill. The upper range has no infill and includes one angle brace at each cell. A half-timbered gable is present above the carriageway, and a 19th-century timber clock turret rises above, consisting of three stages with moulded baluster-type columns at the corners of the clock stage. The roof is saddleback with an arch at the gable that houses a bell. Inside, there are seven full-cruck trusses, each with ties and collars, and two of the trusses have two collars. Spurs are located at the level of the tie, wall-plate, and collar, while the floor was laid in brick during the 20th century. The building is adjacent to the Tudor Barn at its northern end.
