Barn Of Noake'S Farm

The barn at Noake's Farm dates back to the early 14th century and has undergone alterations in the late 16th century and 17th to 18th centuries. It is timber framed, weatherboarded, and has a roof covered with corrugated iron. The structure consists of four bays aligned northwest to southeast, with an additional bay added to the southeast in the 18th century. There is a complete aisle to the northeast, which was rebuilt in the 17th to 18th centuries, and a late 16th-century midstrey to the southwest. Two bays of the aisle to the northwest of the midstrey were also rebuilt during the 17th to 18th centuries. A 20th-century lean-to extension is located to the southeast, incorporating the frame of an earlier, smaller lean-to. The roof is half-hipped at both ends.

The original 14th-century structure features jowled arcade posts with arched braces connecting to the arcade plates and tiebeams, along with the northwest end wall. The arcade plates exhibit splayed and tabled scarfs with undersquinted butts, edge keys, face keys, and face pegs. Two sections of the southwest arcade plate were renewed in the 17th to 18th centuries. The aisle walls were rebuilt during the same period using unjowled posts and primary straight bracing. The midstrey contains jowled posts and straight bracing set within heavy studding, while the southeast bay has unjowled posts and primary straight bracing. The roof was reconstructed in a clasped purlin style in the 17th to 18th centuries.
