Description
The barn at Worden Hall is an 18th-century structure that has been converted into a meeting hall. It is built of brick with a stone plinth and stone dressings, topped with a slate roof. The barn has a rectangular plan consisting of four bays. Notable features include stone quoins and five rows of ventilation openings in the west gable. There are opposed wagon doorways at the east end, which have stone quoins and shallow segmental heads made of stone voussoirs, although these doorways are now glazed. Inside, there is a herringbone pattern brick floor and kingpost roof trusses supported by two parts of fishbone struts and three purlins. On the north side of the west bay, there is a ground floor doorway with a wooden lintel, and a first floor doorway from the second bay leads to the upper storey of an outshut on the north side, which features 19th-century brick walls but retains earlier ceiling beams.
