Description

This barn, located approximately 10 meters southeast of Blacker Hall Farmhouse, dates from either 1635 or 1685. It is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and features a Welsh blue-slate roof with stone slates on the rear pitch. The barn consists of five bays and has a rear aisle. Notable architectural details include quoins, a tall cart-entry with tie-stone jambs, a wooden lintel, and heavy doors that hang on hinges. Above the cart-entry is a rectangular pitching hole with a rebate for a shutter, and there is another similar opening to the right. To the left, there is a tall stop-chamfered taking-in door, along with square vents. The gables are coped and have shaped kneelers.

The rear of the barn features a wide cart-entry flanked by original doorways leading to the aisle, which have composite jambs and stop-chamfered surrounds. The doorway on the right has a lintel that is dated and bears the initials "T R," believed to refer to Thomas Rhodes.

Inside, the barn is finely timbered, with tall posts resting on padstones that support aisle-ties with single braces. The roof structure includes king-post trusses with single angle struts that are straight-braced to the arcade plate, along with tie-beams and a diamond-set ridge. One bay contains a closed truss with I struts and wattle infill, which is used for a corn store.
