Farm Buildings Immediately North Of Weston Hall Farmhouse

The farm buildings immediately north of Weston Hall Farmhouse consist of a barn, stables, and cattle-sheds. The barn dates from the 17th century, while the stables and cattle-sheds were added around the early 19th century. The barn is timber-framed with a sandstone plinth and red brick nogging, and the stables and cattle-sheds are made of red brick. The roof is covered with clay plain tiles and features gabled and half-hipped ends.

The barn has a three-bay layout with opposing cart entrances leading to a central threshing bay. The early 19th-century stables are positioned at right angles to the southeast of the barn, and a range of cattle-sheds is located at the west end, creating three sides of a yard. The exterior of the barn includes central cart entrances, with the south side featuring plank doors and the north side blocked in brick. The attached brick stable range has cambered arch doorways and windows, along with a small loft door. The low cattle-sheds form an L-shape at the west end of the barn.

Inside, the barn has three bays with jowled posts, tie-beam and queen-strut trusses, trenched purlins, and a trenched diagonal ridge-piece. The wall framing consists of a mid-rail and studs forming square panels, with tension braces. The wall framing is complete except for the east end wall, which has been rebuilt in brick beneath the tie-beam.
