Description

This barn, located approximately 50 metres northeast of Euxton House Farmhouse, is likely from the first half of the 16th century, with an extension added in the 18th century. It features a cruck frame with handmade brick cladding and a roof made of corrugated sheet. The extension is constructed of brick with stone dressings and has a slate roof. The barn consists of five bays, separated by three full cruck trusses, each featuring a cambered tie beam, collar, and collar-yoke. The tie beam extends to the outer wall, while spurs above it carry the principal rafters to the apex. Although the cruck blades seem to have been trenched, the rafters now support trenched, overlapping single purlins that are wind-braced. The sawn-off tops of the wall posts and several mortices in the blades and wall plates indicate the original framing of the walls. The extension includes stone quoins, doorways, and two round pitch-holes that are similarly dressed. Dendrochronological dating places its construction between 1515 and 1530.
