(Formerly listed as Building to the north- east of the Hall (No 19))

GV II*

Storage building, formerly farm outbuilding. Late C17, but containing the substantial remains of a timber framed building, possibly the medieval hall. Coursed squared coal measures sandstone with coped gables and moulded kneelers, and a stone slated roof. L-plan, with former threshing door to central bay beneath a segmental relieving arch and a timber lintel. C20 boarded doors. Narrow ventilation slits or breathers at two levels and, on the west wall of the advanced bay, two doorways with quoined surrounds and substantial lintels to the ground floor, with a simple overloft doorway above, all with planked doors. King post roof, with through purlins, the tie beams and purlins having stop chamfers. At the junction of the main range and the added wing, an arched braced full height post with jowelled head stands on the line of the side wall. The wall plates now carried by the stone wall have mortices and peg holes for the former studs of the timber framed walling.
