Barn 65 Metres North West Of Church Hall Farmhouse

This barn, located 65 metres north-west of Church Hall Farmhouse, dates from the 14th and 16th centuries. It is timber framed and weatherboarded, with a roof primarily made of handmade red plain tiles, along with some machine-made tiles. The structure consists of three bays aligned northeast-southwest from the 14th century, and four additional bays to the southwest from the late 16th century, featuring two full-length aisles.

There is a midstrey to the southeast of the third bay from the northeast end, with catslide extensions on either side. Other lean-to extensions on the northeast, southeast, and southwest sides are of no architectural interest. The barn has jowled posts throughout, including in the midstrey, and heavy studding. The three northeast bays have straight braces connecting to the arcade-plates and tiebeams, with edge-halved and bridled scarfs featuring face keys, which are likely early examples of this type. The arcade-posts have oblique trenches for former passing-braces that terminate at mortices in the tiebeams.

An early 16th-century crownpost roof structure is preserved over two of these bays, showcasing plain crownposts and thin straight axial braces. The four southwest bays include arched braces connecting to the arcade-plates and tiebeams, with a face-halved and bladed scarf over each arcade-post, and a clasped purlin roof with collars at half-bay intervals. Inside, there are two full-height partitions made of lapped boards and two threshing bays, with the southwest bay featuring gables and large doors at both ends. Some wattle and daub infill is present in the sides of the midstrey, along with some brick infill below the north wallplate. Only the southwest bay has machine-made roof tiles.
