Barn Approximately 20 Metres North East Of Summers Hall Farmhouse

This barn, located approximately 20 meters north-east of Summers Hall Farmhouse, dates from the late 16th century and was altered in the 17th century. It is timber framed and weatherboarded, with a roof made of corrugated asbestos. The barn has five bays aligned roughly north-south, featuring a 17th-century midstrey to the east of the second bay from the north end. There are single-storey lean-to extensions on the south side of the midstrey and at the south end of the barn, both roofed with red clay pantiles. The structure includes jowled posts, heavy studding, and some arched braces to cambered tiebeams. It also has face-halved and bladed scarfs in the wallplates, a clasped purlin roof with inclined queen struts, arched wind-bracing, and a steep hip at the south end. The south bay is partitioned from the rest of the barn and is internally plastered, which conceals much of the original structure.
