Description
This building is a barn and cowshed located 40 yards southeast of Village Farmhouse, dated 1758, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of red brick with internal timber framing in the barn. The barn has four bays and is aligned northwest to southeast, with the cowshed projecting at right angles from the south end to the southwest.
Inside, there is a through-passage threshing floor with double-boarded doors at the junction with the cowshed. The northwest gable end of the barn features six rows of dove-holes, nesting areas, and flight-perches, with the date 1758 displayed in brick below. The southwest side has eight rows of ventilation holes, with the lower five being discontinuous, and there are various ventilation holes on the northwest gable end. A stable with stable doors is located in the northwest bay of the barn, and there is a three-bay cowshed to the southeast.
The interior includes a threshing floor flanked by trusses with jowled wall-posts that are braced down to continuous cill-beams on low plinth walls. There is a center post supporting the tie beam with queen struts leading to the principals. The cowshed features tie beams and king post trusses with double struts leading to curved principals.
