Farm Outbuilding To The South Of Hall Farmhouse

BRAMPTON SK37SW GREEN LANE 1264-0/2/104 (North side) Farm outbuilding to the south of Hall Farmhouse II

Farm outbuilding. Late C16, with C18 alterations and C20 remodelling. Timber framed, the frame raised from a low stone plinth, and later encased in rubble Coal Measures Sandstone and C18 red brick. Stone slated roof, but with all but the eaves of the north-eastern roof slope replaced in Welsh slate. North-east elevation of 2 storeys and 4 bays, with 2 single doorways, one with a quoined surround and at the south-east end, and the other in a plain opening with a planked door and overlight. Inserted double doorway supported by a steel joist to centre. Three plain taking-in doors at first floor level. Stone staircase to south-east gable. South-west elevation has exposed frame posts, 2 linked by braces to the exposed wall plate. Remains of original plinth at south-east end, which incorporates blocked triangular vents. Lancet and cruciform breathers elsewhere in cladding stonework and brickwork respectively. INTERIOR: tie-beam roof trusses with queen struts support single side purlins and ridge purlins. Some purlins are C20 replacements, and all but 3 wind braces are now missing. The trusses rest on jowel posts, and 3 transverse braces linking posts and tie beams survive. Farm outbuildings which clearly indicate a timber-framed phase prior to stone construction are uncommon in upland Derbyshire.
