Description
There are two adjacent barns at Bury Farm, located 40 meters northwest of the house. The northern barn dates from the 16th century, while the eastern barn is from the 19th century. Both barns have timber frames resting on brick sills and are covered with dark weatherboarding and steep old red tile roofs. The barns form an L-shaped range and are unaisled. The northern barn, likely consisting of five bays, faces south into a covered yard. The eastern barn, probably three bays in size, faces east and features a projecting gabled porch with double doors in the center of its east side.
The northern barn showcases heavy timbering with jowled posts, a mid-height rail that is tenoned in-line, and straight braces connecting the tie-beams and wallplates. It has slightly double-curved wind braces on one purlin on each slope, clasped purlins, and inclined queen-post trusses without collars, except for the end truss. The principals remain undiminished, and there is a squint-butted scarf joint with two edge pegs in the rear wallplate. The eastern barn has two purlins on each slope.
