Shippon On Wood Farm 30 Metres South Of Farmhouse

The Shippon on Wood Farm, located 30 metres south of the farmhouse, is a 17th-century long and narrow two-storey building. It features brown brick walls in English garden wall bond, with local sandstone flush quoins and patches of coursed squared rubble. The thatched roof is covered with corrugated iron. The shippon has two rebated segmental arched brick doorways, each with boarded softwood doors, although other ground floor openings have been altered. There is a circular pitch-hole with a shaped sandstone cill in the east gable, and a full-height recessed brick pointed arch in the west gable, which includes an arched loading doorway to the hayloft. Narrow vertical slits provide ventilation for both the cowshed and the hayloft. At the southwest corner, there is a small added lean-to shed with brick and sandstone walls and a replacement corrugated iron roof. Inside, the west half contains two rude 17th-century collared oak base-cruck trusses, while the east half has two replacement king-post trusses.
