Barn And Adjoining Outbuilding About 60 Yards North East Of Wickton Court

The barn and adjoining outbuilding, located about 60 yards northeast of Wickton Court, are now used as workshops. Likely built in the 17th century, they were altered and extended in the late 18th century, with further modifications in the late 20th century. The structures are timber-framed with rendered infill, partly resting on a tall rubble base, and feature some weatherboarding along with corrugated metal roofs.

The buildings form an L-shape, with the barn range consisting of eight framed bays aligned northwest to southeast. There are wagon bays, which are now blocked, in the second and sixth bays from the southeast end. The adjoining outbuilding has six framed bays extending southwest from the northwest end, with its southwesternmost bay open for access and connected to the Cider mill and Granary.

In the barn range, the framing includes one row of rectangular panels from sill to wall-plate, with a collar and tie-beam truss at the northwest end supported by six struts beneath the collar, and a tie-beam truss with four struts at the southeast end. The main southwest elevation features two three-light 20th-century easements, a large round-headed 12-pane 20th-century window, and a 20th-century double doorway inserted into a blocked cart entrance. Inside, the roof has intermediate collar and tie-beam trusses with raking struts in the lower corners and two tiers of trenched purlins.

The outbuilding has framing with two rows of rectangular panels from sill to wall-plate. Its main southeast elevation has all 20th-century windows, including two two-light windows, a four-light window, a small rectangular window, and three single-light windows with four-centred heads at ground floor level. Above these are a four-light mullioned window with a transom, four single-light windows, and a cross-easement. There are three doors, one of which is half-glazed. The interior roof structure is similar to that of the barn range. At the time of the survey in June 1986, alterations were underway. The barn and adjoining outbuilding enclose the yard to the northeast of Wickton Court and the Cider mill and Granary, and they are included for their group value.
