Description

This is a barn located to the west of Fordham House, dating from the late 17th century. It features a timber frame consisting of six bays and is weatherboarded with clunch and brick foundations. The roof is hipped and originally thatched, but it is now covered with red pantiles. There is a clunch lean-to on the south side, also with a red pantile roof. The timber framed walls and roof are intact, although the main boarded entrance doors have been renewed.
