Byre With Hayloft At Warley Farm

The building is a byre with a hayloft located at Warley Farm, dating from the 17th century. It is timber framed and weatherboarded, with a roof made of corrugated asbestos. The structure consists of two bays aligned northwest to southeast and has two storeys, along with a single-storey lean-to extension at the southeast end. The roof is half-hipped at both ends. The hardwood frame features jowled posts and heavy studding with primary straight bracing. The wallplates have face-halved and bladed scarfs. Inside, the original floor structure includes binding beams and two bridging beams, all of which are chamfered, along with plain joists that are of vertical section and jointed to the bridging beams with soffit tenons that have diminished haunches. The floor has been raised approximately 0.50 metre above its original height.
