Description
This is a barn located about 80 metres east of Shawell Hall, likely built in the 17th century, with some walls rebuilt in the 19th century. The barn features Flemish bond brickwork, with earlier Flemish garden wall bond brick in the south gable wall and east wall. It has a concrete tile roof with gabled ends. The barn is designed in a four-bay layout with opposing cart entrances in the southern bay and a 19th-century outshuton on the east side.
The west elevation includes a full-height cart entrance to the right of the centre, featuring sliding double doors, and a low farm building attached on the left. The east elevation has a full-height cart entrance to the left of the centre and a later lean-to outbuilding on the right, which has a slate roof that is partly covered in corrugated iron sheets.
Inside, the barn boasts a fine 17th-century four-bay roof made of heavy scantling. It consists of three tie-beam queen strut trusses with mortice and tenoned collars, clasped purlins, diminished principals with jowled apexes, ogee wind-braces, and common rafters without a ridgepiece. There are mortices on the soffits of the tie-beam for braces, and a timber wall-plate is present.
