Barn About 10 Yards North-West Of Old House Farmhouse And Adjoining Outbuilding

This barn, located about 10 yards north-west of Old House Farmhouse and adjoining an outbuilding, is likely from the 14th century, with extensions from the 17th century and further alterations in the mid-19th century. It is timber-framed and weatherboarded, resting on a rubble base, with some sections of rubble walling. The roofs are covered with stone tiles arranged in diminishing courses. The original section of the barn is cruck-framed and consists of two bays aligned east to west. In the 17th century, an addition of four and a half framed bays was constructed to the north-east, featuring a wagon bay with opposing cart entries and double doors in the fourth bay from the north end. An additional bay was also added to the west end of the original part. There are attic openings in the gable ends, and a lean-to outshut is present on the west side of the 17th-century section.

Inside, the original part retains three full cruck trusses and has two rows of panels from the sill to the wall-plate, along with two tiers of trenched purlins. The 17th-century addition includes three panels from the sill to the wall-plate, a collar and tie-beam truss with struts, and a V-strut above the collar at the north end. There are also two similar intermediate trusses with two struts and two intermediate tie-beam trusses with raking struts, along with two tiers of purlins. It is possible that the cruck-framed section of the barn was originally the farmhouse.
