Description

This barn, located approximately 10 meters northeast of Hatfield Wick Farmhouse, dates back to the early 16th century. It is timber framed and weatherboarded, with a roof made of red clay corrugated tiles. The structure consists of five bays arranged approximately northeast to southwest, featuring two aisles and a midstrey on the northwest side. The roof is hipped at both ends.

Inside, there are five jowled arcade posts, while the others are unjowled, with some showing oblique trenches for passing braces, indicating that they are reused 13th-century posts. The wallplates display edge-halved and bridled scarfs. The straight arcade braces are of square section, with some timber also being reused. The aisle walls have been partly bricked in the 20th century. The roof structure includes crownposts with axial braces. Although the current building is from the early 16th century, it incorporates significant elements from a 13th-century aisled barn.
