Description

This is a cruck-framed barn, dating from the 16th century or early 17th century, located adjoining and to the north of Nether End Farmhouse. The barn features cladding dated 1663 on its north gable and is constructed from coursed rubble with some hammer-dressed stone. It has a stone slate roof and consists of four bays. There is a square-headed cart entry in the second bay from the left, along with two later windows to the right. The north gable includes triangular ventilation holes and a dated lintel at the opening in the apex.

Inside, the barn contains four complete cruck trusses, with one partially encased in the north gable wall. The structure has extended tie-beams that support the wall plates, and there is a single purlin for each pitch. The collars are present, and the blades meet at the apex to support a diagonally set ridge, which has been partly replaced. Wind bracing of the reversed curve type is found between the blades and purlins, along with some later rafters.
