Description

The Cruck Barn is a possibly medieval, five-bay barn constructed of stone rubble, featuring curved cruck trusses. It has a stone slate roof, although part of one slope has been replaced with corrugated roofing material. A section of the roof, covering five bays, has been damaged by fire. The barn includes four sets of cruck blades, along with many original purlins and spars. There is some evidence suggesting that it may have originally been timber framed throughout, particularly in the section of the wall that is covered by the most northerly of two penticed extensions on the east elevation.

Local climate

The Cruck Barn sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,040 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 83% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 74% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 49 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 91% of listed buildings. Of these, 29 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
