Timber Framed Barn on North Side of Farmyard at Manor Farm

This is a timber-framed barn located on the north side of the farmyard at Manor Farm, dating from the early 17th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The barn has brick infill and a Staffordshire blue tile roof. It is a tall single-storey structure with an inserted floor, truncated to four bays.

On the south side, which faces the farmyard, the wall posts and most of the straight braces to the wall-plate are still intact. The first bay features much of its oak studwork arranged in 3x5 square panels filled with brick. The second bay is less complete and includes a taking-in door within a gabled half-dormer. The third bay is made of brick and has a blocked 19th-century window, while the fourth bay retains its door posts, which now support a 20th-century sliding door. The inserted floor is supported by 20th-century steel stanchions.

At the rear, there is later under-building and brick cladding. The original framework is visible in bay four, with door posts in bay three and some exposed studwork in the upper walls of bays one and two. The left return has been broken through at ground-floor level, but the upper framework remains, including an exposed truss with three studs below a collar and V-struts above. Scarfed wall plates and sawn-off purlins indicate where the building has been truncated. Inside, there are principal-rafter trusses with diagonal struts, single purlins, and a ridge, with the right end truss mirroring the left gable.
