Barn to Shibden Hall Museum

Barn and outbuildings, now part of Shibden Hall Museum, are located within Shibden Park. The core of the building dates to the early 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries, and a late 20th-century conversion to a museum. The structure is built from coursed rubble stone with ashlar dressings and stone slate roofs.

The building is arranged around a courtyard, with the barn situated to the north. The north front features a gabled cross wing on the left with a central five-light chamfered mullion window, protected by a continuous hood mould. To the right of this window is a smaller twelve-light mullion window at a lower level. A late 19th-century square tower stands to the left, topped with a cupola, weather vane, deeply moulded eaves cornice and housing a clock. The gable apex has a two-light pigeon opening with a flight perch. To the right of the tower are double doors, with a four-centred arched doorway in the return wall. Further along is an off-centre doorway within a moulded surround, accompanied by a two-light mullion window to the left. A double flight mounting block incorporating a central dog kennel is also present, alongside two further two-light chamfered mullion windows separated by a single round-headed window. The west gabled front has central double plank doors above which is a large five-light chamfered, transom and mullion window. A single light window is blocked to the left, and a two-light mullion window to the right. Projecting outbuildings on the right feature two four-centred arched doorways, each with a hood mould, and a triple flight pigeoncote above. The irregular west front includes a round-headed, rusticated 17th-century garden archway. The south front, facing the courtyard, has large double plank doors set in a raised midstray, flanked by irregular mullion windows and doors. An east corner tower incorporates a brewhouse and two single-light windows to the upper floor. The west and south ranges overlooking the courtyard are single-storey with irregular window openings and inserted doors, now used as exhibition rooms.

Inside, five roof trusses are supported by timber posts with arched braces and staggered purlins, including king and queen posts.
