Description

The Town Barn is a barn dating from the 15th or 16th century. It features a timber-frame construction with weatherboarding and a boarded roof. The barn consists of three bays and has a central gabled porch. Inside, there are four cruck trusses, with the end trusses truncated at the top, suggesting that the roof was originally half-hipped. The internal cruck trusses have been altered and repaired over time.
