SD 43 NE INSKIP-WITH-SOWERBY LEWTH LANE

8/15 Outbuilding south-east of 17-4-1967 Brook House (Previously listed as - II Outbuilding to Brook House)

Former wheelwright's shop, now used for storage. Probably C18th with C19th alterations. Walls of brick, mud and turf, with corrugated iron roof over thatch. Single storey. Original building appears to have had 3 trusses supported on brick piers, the walls being infilled with turf. The piers survive, but the gables have been rebuilt in a larger C19th brick, as has the western half of the south-west (rear) wall. The north-east wall retains its turf infill and has 3 windows with timber lintels and plain reveals. To the right of the left-hand window is a smaller unglazed opening. The north-west gable has a sliding door, and a window with plain reveals above. Against the south-east gable is a C19th extension of no architectural interest. The rear wall has, in the left-hand half, a door with plain reveals within the C19th brick infill. To the right the turf survives and has a window flanked by 2 unglazed openings. Interior. One central upper cruck truss, re-using full crucks as principals, remains. The purlins and ridge to the southern half have been renewed. To the north they remain, and have windbrace slots. Curved windbraces from the truss to the ridge survive. Numerous beams span the building at eaves level, but do not support a loft. At the northern end 4 collars span the purlins.
