Description
This is an aisled barn dating from around 1600, located 75 metres southwest of Matching Hall. It features a timber frame, is weatherboarded, and has base walls made of red brick. The roof is primarily covered with handmade red clay tiles, with some areas using machine-made red clay tiles. The barn consists of seven equal bays arranged in a northwest-southeast direction, with midstreys located to the northeast in bays 2 and 6.
Architectural details include jowled posts, near-straight braces connecting to tiebeams with spandrel struts, and thin straight braces extending from the heads of each arcade post to the middle of the wallpost, which are tenoned into the aisle tie. The walls have primary straight bracing and arched braces to the arcade plates. The roof structure features queen struts, clasped purlins with curved wind bracing, and joggled butt purlins in the aisle spans. All original sills are intact, mounted on base walls that are approximately 1 metre high and 0.45 metre thick, with various bonding and a tarred exterior.
