Description

This is a barn located about 40 metres north of Bretforton Grange, dating from the 15th century with some early 19th-century alterations. It has a timber frame, is weatherboarded, and sits on a coursed lias plinth topped with a Cotswold stone roof. The barn consists of nine framed bays aligned east to west, originally having eleven bays, with two on the west replaced by a 19th-century cartshed. There are two 15th-century porches on the north side, featuring gabled roofs that are weatherboarded and have full-height doors below. The framing is close-studded with a rail and passing tension braces. The roof structure includes two struts to the collar, clasped purlins, and arch-braced tie-beams. This barn is noted as one of the finest surviving examples built for Evesham Abbey. At the time of the survey in February 1986, one of the roof trusses had collapsed.
