• II

Barn. Date stone 1763, but probably a C18 re-building of an earlier barn. Timber-frame and roughly coursed sandstone rubble with corrugated iron cladding to walls and roof. Four bays aligned north-north-east/south-south- west. West elevation has square opening to former loft on left hand side beneath which is a ledged door; ledged doors to threshing floor to right of centre. Gables are rubble. "WS/1763" next to trefoiled owl hole in recessed square tablet to north gable. Interior has re-used timber-framing for side walls forming two unequal panels between plinth and wall-plate formerly to take weatherboarding; triple angle strut trusses which have been re-used; beneath the trusses to the threshing floor are low cross- walls carrying sill beams from which rise angle struts to those which support the tie-beams from the wall-frames; the lower angle struts are also tied back to the wall-frames by pegged horizontal members. Included as an interesting example of a dated barn.
