Outbuildings To Manor Farm

The outbuildings to Manor Farm, located on the west side of Main Street in Elmley Castle, date from the mid-19th century and have undergone some later alterations. The structure consists of a long central range with advanced side wings that enclose three sides of a farmyard. It is primarily built of red brick, featuring some patterned work and window heads made of blued headers, and has plain tile roofs. The single-storey main barn boasts an impressive roof sweep and a large gabled entrance porch with a wide semi-circular archway, pigeon holes in the gable face, and a wrought-iron windvane at the apex. The rear archway has an elliptical head. Inside the porch, the main roof structure is of tie and collar beam construction, supported by two vertical trusses on the queen post principle. The frontage includes modern concrete additions and infillings on either side of the central porch. The right-hand wing is entirely brick with a central gable, featuring four casement windows in round-headed openings, two plain doors, and a cambered head hoist opening in the gable face. The left-hand wing has a similar gable but with a weather-boarded face, and its ground floor has open bays separated by square section piers.
