Description

This barn or cowshed, located about 130 metres east of Humphreston Hall, is likely from the early 16th century. It is constructed from roughly coursed sandstone blocks sitting on an offset plinth, topped with a plain tiled roof.

The building consists of four bays. On the south side, there is a blocked late Perpendicular doorway featuring a Tudor arch, along with three later doorways. The doorways on the left and right are round-headed, while the central doorway has a flat chamfered lintel, which may have been reused. The gables have stone two-light mullioned windows, although only the lower window on the west side still has its mullion intact.

To the north, there is a lean-to open shelter supported by cylindrical iron columns, which are said to have been made at Coalbrookdale and have been in place since the early 19th century. There is no substantial evidence to support the tradition that this barn was once a domestic chapel for Humphreston Hall, apart from its east-west orientation.
