Cow House And Hayloft About 20 Yards North Of Paytoe Hall

This cow house and hayloft, located about 20 yards north of Paytoe Hall, likely dates from the 17th century, with some alterations made in the 19th century. It features a sandstone rubble base that supports a weatherboarded timber frame and has a Welsh slate roof. The structure consists of five bays arranged in a north-west to south-east alignment and has two levels.

The south-west elevation displays a weatherboarded upper section, while the ground floor includes six ledged doors and two 2-light openings on the right side. The north gable features a central loft opening and two-leaved ledged doors below it. Inside, there are several trusses with collars supported by queen struts, and one truss includes scissor-braces, from which a pair of struts extend to the principals, running parallel with the upper part of the scissor-brace. The Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England notes that some ashlar may have originated from Wigmore Abbey.
