Description
This barn, approximately 30 metres south-west of Bullcliffe farmhouse, dates primarily to the 16th century, with additions and alterations in the 17th and 19th centuries, and further modifications in the 20th century. The building is timber-framed, with rubble walls from the 17th century and brick cladding from the 19th century. It has a stone slate roof. The barn comprises six internal bays, including a rear aisle, with what was formerly a partial front aisle. A cart entry is located in the third bay, now within a continuous catslide-roofed verandah, added in 1986-7. A rear cart entry exists, partially blocked. Later windows have been inserted into each bay. The left return side is brick, revealing the underlying timber frame and showing blocked ventilation slits.
The interior, as recorded in April 1986, features seven trusses, with end trusses and front posts embedded in the walls. The posts are jowelled, with curved braces connecting the rear posts to the arcade plate, and straight braces connecting posts to tie-beams; some braces have been removed. King posts have replaced struts, except in the sixth truss. Short braces extend from the king posts to the ridge piece, although truss seven lacks a king post. The trenched purlins are mostly renewed, and the rafters are of sawn softwood. Arcade posts to trusses five and six stand on wallstone plinths. Wall plates in bay three feature tenoned scarf joints. Attached cartsheds to the north-west are of more recent date and are not considered to be of special interest.
