Barn And Attached Outbuildings At Rhyse Farm (Rhyse Farmhouse Not Included)

The barn and attached outbuildings at Rhyse Farm date from around 1771 to 1791. The structures are built from red brick in Flemish bond and feature a hipped slate roof on the barn, while the shelter shed has a gabled roof covered with old plain tiles. The layout is L-shaped, with the barn connected to a shelter shed by an L-shaped wall that includes a lean-to outbuilding.

The exterior of the barn includes a central segmental-arched entry leading to the threshing floor, with a segmental-arched doorway and windows to the right that likely serve the cowhouse and loft floors, which may have been used as a granary. The barn also features cross-shaped ventilation holes, dentilled brick eaves, and a similar threshing-floor doorway at the rear. The front is weatherboarded, and there is a through-entry to the lean-to outbuilding on the left. The 7-bay open-fronted shelter shed is supported by round brick piers at the wall plate and includes a brick manger.

Inside, the barn has a 5-bay double trenched-purlin roof supported by 4 king-post trusses. The shelter shed features a 7-bay single trenched-purlin roof with 6 queen-post trusses. This barn is known as Johnathon Green's Barn, named after the Lord of the Manor of Ashford Hall for whom it was constructed.
