Barn about 60 metres E.N.E. of Church of St Mary

II

Barn. Probably early C13. Timber-framed on stone rubble plinth, clad in weatherboarding and with a corrugated iron roof with rounded gable ends. PLAN: Surviving N.W. end bay of an aisled barn including both aisles. The rest of the barn to the south east has been demolished and replaced with an open-fronted cattle-shelter at right angles to the original barn. EXTERIOR: North west elevation is the original gable end, the gable reduces to a curved profile roof, and clad in weatherboarding. Similar south east gable but with posts, tie- beam and braces exposed above later lean-to open-fronted cattle shelter below. INTERIOR: Surviving frame includes:- 4 jowled arcade and 4 aisle posts (NW aisle post a replacement) with their braces and trenches for halved passing braces (two passing braces remain), aisle and arcade plates, two large tie-beams, some studding, rails and a storey-post in the NW end wall. The sole-plates have been largely replaced. Part of the north east aisle wall of the next bay also survives as the side wall of the later cattle shelter. The roof above the tie-beams has been replaced. NOTE: The land was held by the Convent of St Mary's of Cormeilles at the Domesday Survey and from 1301 to 1336 it was held by Sir Gerald de Eillesford and then passed to the Convent of Wormsley. This is a rare example and possibly unique for Herefordshire of an early medieval aisled barn.
