Description
This farm building, which incorporates the remains of St Cuthbert's Chapel, is located east of Bennett's Farmhouse. The chapel dates back to around 1165, while the main structure is from the 17th century, with later additions and alterations, including a grain store built between 1860 and 1880. The building is constructed of coursed sandstone, timber-framing with brick nogging, and reddish brick on the left side arranged in alternating header and stretcher bond. It features brick and stone buttresses and has an old tile roof that is hipped to the left.
The building has an L-shaped plan, with the remains of the chapel in the lower right (west) part and the grain store on the left. It stands two storeys plus a loft and has five bays with windows on three levels, along with a two-storey grain store to the left. The grain store includes three elliptically-arched openings, with the lower stage having a hinged plank cover and the others featuring casement windows. There is a blocked elliptically-arched entrance, a gabled pitching door to the roof, and a turret at the apex.
In the main range, the lower stage has three openings with plank covers and one timber-mullion window with a flat arch and keystone. The entrance is on the right, featuring a renewed plank door. The middle stage has an elliptically-arched opening and two timber-mullion windows with stone lintels, one of which is chamfered and the other has a keystone. The upper stage has two levels of square framing with arch braces and five openings, along with a glazed turret and vent at the ridge. There is a pitching door on the right gable end, and the range at the rear has timber framing on the lower stage and plank boarding on the upper stage.
Inside, the building retains 19th-century stables with hay racks and stalls, jowled posts on the first floor, and a queen-post roof. There is also a hop tray. Historically, St Cuthbert's Chapel was last used for worship in 1371.
