Description

This barn, likely adapted from a house, dates back to the 15th century. It features a stone slate roof and is constructed from rubble with stone quoins. The barn has a large segmental-headed cart entry, and to the left, there is a window that uses the surround of a 15th-century window but lacks the mullion or sill, which originally had two ogee-headed lights. There is a relieving arch above this window, and a small blocked chamfered light is located above it. The left side, facing the church, has a weathered plinth that extends for one meter to the rear. The rear of the barn includes the lintel and right-hand jamb of a chamfered shouldered doorway, which is now blocked. A later wing abuts this structure, but massive corbelling can be seen under the eaves above it. On the right side, there is a blocked window featuring two ogee-headed lights with a hoodmould and stops. This barn is said to incorporate the remains of the hall where Henry VI rested after the battle of Hexham.
