Barn Circa 75 Metres North Of Whinneyclough Farmhouse

This barn, located approximately 75 metres north of Whinneyclough Farmhouse, dates from 1639, as indicated on the lintel of the south door. It features coursed sandstone rubble with quoins and a slate roof, complete with gable coping, kneelers, and finials at the south end. The barn has a rectangular six-bay plan, with lean-to additions on the east side and a modern farm building attached to the west side.

The north gable has chamfered looplight breathers on five levels, although most are covered at the sides. There is a porch to the wagon doors, which is offset to the left of centre, and a lean-to addition that mostly covers a mullioned window at the first floor. To the right of the porch is a long lean-to addition, and at the left end, there is a Tudor-arched doorway with a chamfered surround and a panel on the lintel that reads "B R A 1639," indicating Robert Bamber. The south gable is mostly obscured by an addition, while the north gable features three chamfered doorways, with the centre and left ones altered into windows, as well as a square loading door for the loft.

Inside, the barn has large principal rafter roof trusses with angle struts and three pairs of trenched purlins. The breathers have splayed reveals, and there are various altered or blocked openings at the south end, which likely had an upper floor, although its original function is not known.

Historically, Whinnyclough was purchased in 1637 by John Bamber, a merchant from Poulton-le-Fylde. This barn is noted as the best example of its kind in the parish.
