Cowhouse at Tidbury Green Farm

The cowhouse at Tidbury Green Farm is an 18th-century building that was remodeled in the 19th century and has more recently been used as a milking shed.

Constructed from red brick, it features a plain clay tile roof and has a long rectangular plan that runs north to south, divided into two ranges. The building is a single storey.

On the southern range, there is a wide central doorway with a 20th-century door, flanked by small, square, fixed-pane windows that also date from the 20th century. The eaves are detailed with brick cogging. The northern range has a wider central double doorway with 20th-century doors set within an earlier brick doorway, accompanied by rectangular, fixed-pane windows in rebuilt walls. The gable ends display brick cogging that extends to the apex, with a small square window in the gable.

Inside, each range consists of a single space featuring a wide, brick-built channel in the floor and painted, plastered walls. The roof is supported by pegged trusses made from large-section timber, which are limewashed. These trusses include chamfered tie beams, principal rafters that curve around the ends of a short collar and are slightly truncated above, and angled queen struts. The single purlins rest on the principals and support common rafters leading to a ridge plank.
