Description

This is a mid-17th century hay barn with byres, located on the north side of the yard, east of Moseley Farmhouse. The barn is constructed from coursed squared gritstone and features a stone slate roof. It has five bays and a single aisle on the south side, which faces the yard. The building includes quoins and gable copings with symmetrically moulded kneelers.

On the south front, there is a central blocked cart entrance with chamfered jamb stones. To the left of this entrance, there is a narrow doorway with a chamfered quoined surround, and further left, a doorway that has been altered to a window with a trough recess below and flanking small square windows. To the right of the cart entrance is a similar doorway with a chamfered surround and flanking square windows.

The rear side of the barn has no aisle and features a cart entrance with a chamfered segmental arch, along with two tiers of slit vents and an inserted window to the left. The left return (west end) has a segmental-arched opening at the apex of the gable, a square window below, and three blocked vents, along with an added single-storey lean-to. The right return (east end) includes small paired vents in the gable, a square loading door below, and another added single-storey lean-to.

Inside, the barn showcases king-post trusses with short braces rising from the tie-beam to the principal rafters. There are two tiers of trenched purlins in the main roof and the aisle. The aisle posts have straight braces to the tie beam and aisle plate, which features scarfed joints, and wooden slate pegs. This barn is regarded as a very fine and complete example of a 17th-century structure, reputed to have been built between 1620 and 1640.
