Description

Linthwaite Hall Barn, located immediately to the east of Linthwaite Hall, dates from around 1600 and was originally a cruck barn. Following a fire in the 1940s, the original roof and walls were replaced with asbestos cladding. The barn originally featured five large crucks, but now only one complete cruck and two partial crucks remain. The original trusses included two crucks that met at the apex with a ridge tree, an upper collar, a lower collar, and a tie-beam. The upper and lower purlins supported the rafters and were braced. The crucks are set on stone footings and feature 'lever-holes' for lifting into position, as well as notches for accommodating wall posts. The base of the cruck measures 1 foot 10 inches by 11 inches. The barn is documented in "Early Timbered Buildings of the Huddersfield District" by James Walton, published in 1955.
