Barn Immediately To East Of Marsh Hills Farmhouse

This barn, located immediately to the east of Marsh Hills Farmhouse, is a Grade II listed building dated 'R E / 1703'. It features a rubble stone plinth with red brick in English garden wall bond and a pantile roof. The barn is low, with two storeys and five bays. It has a rubble and brick plinth, with central 20th-century boarded doors set beneath a segmental arch that has a chamfered ashlar keystone displaying the date and initials. There are two rows of slit vents and a decorative lozenge-shaped vent above the doors, along with a boarded hatch located beneath the eaves on each side. The eaves have a dentilled course. At the rear, there is a central door beneath a wooden lintel and flat brick arch, which projects slightly under a catslide roof. Inside, the barn has been re-roofed with pattern-book king-post trusses. Historical records from the Fishlake parish indicate that Richard Learson married Elizabeth Hudson in 1690, and Richard Peck married an Elizabeth in 1698; one of these couples may have been the builders of the barn and former occupants of Marsh Hills Farmhouse.
