Barn Approximately 30 Metres South West Of Roundhay Grange

This is a barn located approximately 30 metres south-west of Roundhay Grange, dating from the 16th century with alterations made around 1800 and restored in about 1965 after a fire. The barn features a timber frame encased in stone and has a corrugated asbestos roof. It consists of four bays, with an aisle that includes a central cart entrance on the south side.

The stonework varies: the north wall is made of coursed squared gritstone from around 1800 and has tall narrow slit vents; the south side is constructed of random rubble with small vents; the west gable is built from gritty sandstone and limestone blocks below the eaves level, with squared stonework above that matches the north side; the east end is infilled with re-used stone. The timber posts and roof truss are exposed at the east end, although a cut-off king post and herring-bone braces are missing, and part of the post and aisle plate remains in the south-west corner.

Inside, the timbers are blackened and charred, with five surviving timber-framed trusses, the end trusses now located in the end gables. The principal posts rest directly on stone or earth flooring, without stylobates. King-post trusses flank the entrance bay and are braced to the ridge. The wall-plates have scarfed joints, and there is a surviving hole for a har-hung barn door. Timbers used to prop up the framing include a length of wall-plate, and secondary timbers laid across and below the aisle purlins provide additional support. This barn may have been part of the Kirkstall Abbey grange before the Dissolution, standing to the south of a timber-framed range, part of which remains in the outbuilding attached to Roundhay Grange. The north wall was likely rebuilt to match the new stonework of the 18th-century farmhouse and barn.
