Description

The hop kiln and stowage, located approximately 35 meters north of Hurstans, is a Grade II listed structure. The stowage dates from the 18th century, while the hop kiln was built in the late 19th or early 20th century. The earlier section is constructed from sandstone rubble and features double Roman tiles, while the kiln itself is made of brick and has a slate roof. The building has a rectangular plan oriented north to south, with a square hop kiln at the northern end. It stands two storeys high and has two openings on the west front and the south gable end, which are now open to the lower floor. This hop kiln forms a group with the nearby Barn, Wain House, and Stables, all of which are located within close proximity to Hurstans.
