Formerly the Building to the north-east of the Hall

The Dronfield Hall Barn is a storage building that was formerly a farm outbuilding. It dates from the late 17th century but includes significant remains of a timber-framed structure, which may have been part of a medieval hall. The building is constructed from coursed squared coal measures sandstone, featuring coped gables and moulded kneelers, topped with a stone slated roof. It has an L-shaped plan, with a former threshing door in the central bay, which is set beneath a segmental relieving arch and a timber lintel. There are 20th-century 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 at ground level, along with a simple overloft doorway above, all fitted with planked doors. The interior features a king post roof with through purlins, and the tie beams and purlins have stop chamfers. At the junction of the main range and the added wing, there is an arched braced full height post with a jowelled head, positioned on the line of the side wall. The wall plates, now supported by the stone wall, have mortices and peg holes for the former studs of the timber-framed walling.
