Granary 13 Metres North Of Arnold'S Farmhouose

Granary located 13 metres north of Arnold's Farmhouse, dating from the 17th century. It is timber-framed, weatherboarded, and has a roof made of handmade red clay tiles. The structure consists of three bays aligned approximately northwest to southeast. There is a 19th-century ancillary building attached to the west, which is not of special architectural or historic interest. The granary is a single-storey building supported on eight original red brick piers in English bond.

On the northeast side, there is a plain boarded and ledged door, with a ladder of three treads below it. A slatted vent on this side is a 19th-century alteration, with a sill and stud below made of softwood. The southwest side features a blocked original window with three diamond mortices for the mullions of an unglazed window, although the sill has been replaced.

Inside, the granary has a high-quality hardwood frame that is fully jointed and pegged. It features unjowled posts, heavy studding, and primary straight bracing. There are two face-halved and bladed scarfs in the northeast wallplate and one in the southwest wallplate. Some hair plaster infill is present between the studs in the northwest and southeast walls. The two internal tie-beams each have a branching spur tie on each side, which are fully jointed and pegged to the tie-beam, with a barefaced lap dovetail to the wallplate; only the southeast tie-beam has queen struts to the collar. The roof is a clasped purlin type, with rafters of horizontal section that are halved and pegged at the apices, featuring bird-mouthed intermediate collars in the bays. This granary is a rare survival and has seen little alteration, deserving special care.
