Shippon 10 Metres South of Manor Farmhouse

The shippon, located 10 metres south of Manor Farmhouse, is likely from the late 18th century. It is constructed of brown brick in English garden wall bond with a grey slate roof. The building has two storeys plus a loft in the roof. The cowshed features five skewback camber-arched doorways, two of which have divided boarded doors, one has a damaged divided boarded door, and two have undivided boarded doors. There are external stone steps on a rebuilt brick base, an access door to the lower loft under a skewback camber arch, and a loading door under a wooden lintel. The upper loft contains three stone-lined pitching eyes, diamond-shaped brick vents for the cowshed, and loophole vents for the lower loft. Inside, there are kingpost trusses. An adjoining cartshed at the north end of the shippon does not have any features of special interest. This building, along with items 57 to 59, represents a now rare survival of a farmstead on the main street of a small town.
