GV II

Barn. Late C16. Timber framed, weatherboarded, roofed with corrugated asbestos. 3 bays aligned NW-SE, with 2 aisles, and midstrey to SW. Jowled posts, heavy studding with straight bracing trenched to the inside. Arched braces to tiebeams replaced by bolted knees. Clasped purlin roof with tiebeam and collars at half-bay intervals, and arched wind-bracing. Inserted large double doors at SE end. Some components have early features which indicate that this is rebuilt from a C13 barn. The NE arcade plate has a splayed and undersquinted scarf, but elsewhere there are face-halved and bladed scarfs. One unjowled arcade post has an oblique trench for a passing brace. Original wattle and daub infill in midstrey.
