Description
Eastern Farm Building, known as the 'Jail', is a former house that has been converted to house cattle. It dates back to 1652 and has undergone alterations. The building is constructed of sandstone rubble with a stone slate roof and stands two storeys high. A continuous drip course runs around the building, except on the west gable wall.
The north wall features a blocked rebated and chamfered window on the right and another blocked chamfered window above it on the first floor. To the left, the drip course rises over where the main doorway used to be. There is a door with plain reveals on the left side of the facade, and to its right is a re-set 17th-century doorway that is now blocked. This doorway has a moulded surround with a lintel inscribed: 'ITM 1652 IC'.
On the east gable wall, there are blocked rebated and chamfered mullioned windows, including one that was originally four lights on the ground floor and another that was three lights above, now featuring an inserted pitching hole. There is also a one-light attic window above. The south wall has rebated and chamfered mullioned windows, all of which have been altered. The ground floor has three windows, while the first floor has two blocked windows with a pitching door between them. To the right of the second ground-floor window is a narrow blocked doorway with a stone surround.
The west gable wall has been partly rebuilt and contains two shippon doorways. Inside, the first floor is made of softwood, and the three roof trusses are of hardwood and appear to be original, though they have been repaired.
