Description
Little Manson Barn is an 18th-century barn constructed from thin coursed sandstone rubble with a pantile roof, part of which is covered with corrugated iron. The barn is rectangular and consists of three bays, featuring central cart doors on either side. Each of the four walls has three tiers of triangular ventilators. The west gable wall includes a rectangular loading door and a triangular vent, which may have served as an owl hole at the apex. On the south side, there is a blocked square window with a timber lintel to the right of the cart door, along with a slit vent further to the right. Although it is not a bank barn, the ground slopes to the south, making the south wall significantly higher than the north wall. There is a stub of a possible yard wall that extends the south wall to the east and is part of the original structure.
Inside, the barn features two queen strut trusses that are halved and pegged at the apex, displaying carpenter's marks. The roof has a through purlin design with a light diagonally set ridge. The presence of empty mortices for clasped purlins suggests that the main trusses were reused from a 17th-century building, although the current roof is original to this barn.
This barn is a well-preserved example of a Herefordshire out barn.
