Description

The barn at Shalford Hall Farm, located approximately 50 meters southwest of the Parish Church, dates from the 18th century. It features a timber frame that is plastered and weatherboarded, with a roof made of handmade red clay tiles and slate. The structure consists of four bays aligned northwest to southeast, with a midstrey on the northeast side. It has a gambrel roof, where the lower pitches are tiled and the upper pitches are slated. There is a weatherboarded enclosure on the roof, which is a 20th-century addition. The barn has a hardwood frame that is jointed and pegged, with primary straight bracing, face-halved and bladed scarfs in the wallplates, bolted knees to the tiebeams, and a clasped purlin roof.
