Frodesley Hall Farm Barn

This is an early 18th-century barn, with possible 16th-century timber framing, and minor 20th-century alterations. It has a stone plinth and brick walls predominantly in Flemish bond, along with timber trusses and wall posts. The roof is now tiled, but was originally thatched. The barn comprises six bays.

Inside, the north-east bay has brick interior walls with advanced brick courses, above which a regular pattern of bricks has been removed to create nesting boxes. The roof features tie beams with raking struts to the collar, and double purlins clasped to the principal rafters. Some slightly curved wind braces are also present. Smoke blackening is evident in the north-east bay. The trusses at the south-west end have three shorter struts to the collar, with V-struts above. Redundant mortises and pairs of peg holes indicate that a bay was originally partitioned off.

The barn is associated with Frodesley Manor, which was initially built in 1594 for Edward Scriven. In the 19th century, Frodesley Hall Farm operated as an extensive dairy farm. The original manor house was demolished and rebuilt around 1880.
