WRIGHTINGTON SD 51 SW 5/85 Barn approx. 50 metres north of Harrock Hall - GV II

Barn. Probably C16 with C18 alterations. Cruck-framed with sandstone rubble walls and shingle roof. West wall has breathers, a cart entrance under a canopy with cheeks, and a wider shippon end towards the right with doorway. Towards the left is an addition which has a wide doorway with plain reveals. Projecting from the east side is a shippon wing, probably early C18. Its north and south walls both have 3 chamfered doorways on the ground floor and 3 pitching eyes with plain stone surrounds above. The east gable has 3 pitching eyes and a pair of blocked doorways to the upper level which have chamfered surrounds and canted heads. They are reached by external stone steps. Interior: 7 bays. End cruck trusses, now internal, are closed with blades terminating at collars: the original roof was probably thatched and half-hipped. The other crucks are joined by yokes below the apex and have collars. Some wallposts remain, joined to the blades by spurs. At the junction with the rear shippon wing part of the original timber-framed walling remains, including 2 doorheads. The 1st floor has been removed from the rear wing, which has 2 bolted king-post trusses.
