Description

The barn north of Crook Farmhouse dates back to 1676 and is constructed from sandstone rubble and cobble, with some red sandstone in the north wall. It has a slate roof. The south wall, which faces the farmyard, features a wider shippon end on the right with two rows of ventilation slits. To the left, there is a wide entrance with a timber lintel, followed by two doors with plain reveals. The gables are topped with copings and kneelers. The right-hand (east) gable wall includes dressings that have been reused from Cockersand Abbey. The two shippon doors have hollow-chamfered surrounds with pointed heads, and the central window has two trefoiled heads, although the central mullion has been removed. The northern wall is mostly obscured by later additions, but at its western end, there is a one-light chamfered window. A wide entrance features a segmental hollow-chamfered arch. Inside, the barn has six trusses with tie beams, collars, and raking queen struts. Notably, the tie beam to the west of the main entrance is inscribed with 'RD 1676'.
