Description
This barn, located approximately 100 meters southwest of Martin Hall Farmhouse, is likely from the late 16th century or very early 17th century. It underwent alterations and enlargements in the 17th century and was slightly enlarged in the 18th century. The structure is timber-framed, with parts replaced and enclosed by large dressed sandstone block walls, and features a one-bay addition made of handmade red brick on a matching stone plinth. The roof is covered with corrugated asbestos sheet.
The barn has three bays oriented north-south, with an outshut on the east side and a one-bay addition at the north end. The west side, east outshut, and south gable walls are constructed of stone and have moulded plinths. The west side and gable feature regularly spaced slit breathers. The former center bay on the west side includes a full-height porch for the waggon entrance, while the east outshut has a 4-light window with cavetto-moulded mullions.
Inside, the former east side and north gable walls are built with post-and-truss construction featuring square framing and remnants of unique horizontal plank panelling. Each bay on the side wall has three intermediate posts (except for the center waggon entrance) with three rails creating four tiers of panels. The uppermost tier has angle-braces, while the lower panels are filled with brick and the upper ones with horizontal staves or crude planks coated with daub. Some intermediate posts have been removed from the gable wall, except for those near the corner posts, where broad horizontal planks are fitted into vertical grooves. The tie-beams of the roof trusses have angle-braces from the principal posts of the east wall, and there are vacant mortices for former braces near the west side. The wall posts have been replaced by stone piers with moulded caps, and the principal-rafter trusses include angle stuts and windbraces supporting two pairs of purlins.
