Description
This is a 17th-century barn located 120 metres west of East Newhall Farmhouse. It is timber framed, weatherboarded, and has a roof made of corrugated asbestos. The barn consists of five bays aligned east-west, with a midstrey to the south. The frame is made of high-quality hardwood, which is jointed and pegged. It features jowled posts and primary straight bracing, with arched braces to the straight tiebeams that are complete and marked with scribed carpenter's assembly marks. The wallplate scarfs are of a rare type, face-splayed, each with one through-splayed butt and one undersquinted butt, through-nailed and arranged over the posts. Each principal rafter couple has one tenoned collar, and there are two butt-purlins in each pitch of the roof, with no ridge present.
The great doorways at both ends of the threshing bay have been boarded over, and a full-span doorway has been created at the west end, featuring double metal doors for the storage of agricultural machinery. This barn is of unusual structural type and, due to its location within 0.5 km of the Stour estuary, may indicate continental influence. It has been exceptionally well converted for modern agricultural use.
