2/10001 Home Farm Barn

GV II

Barn. Mid C16, re-roofed in mid C17. Timberframed, clad in weatherboarding with half-hipped tiled roof. South face has central door with lean-to pentice and slate-roofed lean-to extension. On the east side of the entrance, the main plain tile roof continues down as catslide. Five bay barn with very interesting mid C16 timber frame of extremely local carpentry. Jowled posts and framing have 'detached' arch bracing of this particular part of the County. Walling consists of principal and 'plank' studs such as can be seen in East Sussex. Possibly this unusual technique was a London idea which found its way only into this part of Essex. Barn was re-roofed, probably in mid C17 and now has aside purlin roof with queen posts and wind-bracing. Bay spacing has been confused by these alterations. Interesting 'archaic' scarf-joints in first phase and these are simply edge-halved with big face-pegs and sallied abutments.
