Cruck Barn To The North-West Of Beech Farmhouse

This is a 17th-century cruck barn located to the north-west of Beech Farmhouse. It is constructed from coursed rubble gritstone with quoins at the north end and features a plain tiled roof with stone-slated eaves. The barn is a single storey with three bays, including a single doorway at the south end and a blocked former doorway just north of the existing opening, which has a fixed light window.

Inside, there are three cruck trusses, with the blades on the east side now embedded in the stone walls. The trusses have collars and yokes that support single butt purlins on the backs of the crucks, with two trusses featuring added bearer timbers for additional support. Thin, slightly curved wind braces are present on one side of each of two trusses. The cruck blades have halvings for tie beams or spurs, which are now missing, but modern softwood spurs and sawn rafters have been added. An opening in the north gable is supported by a rough relieving arch above a plain timber lintel, and there are plain planked doors.
