Barn About 30 Yards South-West Of Birchley Farmhouse

This barn, located about 30 yards south-west of Birchley Farmhouse, is likely from the 15th century. It is timber-framed and weatherboarded, resting on a rubble base, and features a corrugated metal roof. The barn consists of four framed bays oriented north-west to south-east, with a wagon bay that has opposed cart entries and double doors in the second bay from the north-west end. The framing is cruck-framed, with five pairs of full crucks that have collars; the fourth pair from the north-west end is truncated and has been repaired. The wall-frames contain two rows of rectangular panels, and the roof has one tier of trenched purlins. There are 20th-century lean-to additions on the south and west sides. This barn is part of the 15th-century estate of the de la Burches family.
