Barn At Hudnall Farm (15 Metres To South East Of House)

The barn at Hudnall Farm, located 15 meters southeast of the house, dates from the early 17th century, with the northern bay added in the late 17th century. It features a timber frame set on a low brick sill and is clad in dark weatherboarding, topped with steep old red tile roofs, including a hipped roof at the northern end. This four-bay barn faces west and has a gabled porch at the second bay from the south, along with a later, heavily framed one-bay extension at the northern end. The structure includes jowled posts and heavy curved braces supporting the tie-beams, as well as a squint-butted scarf joint in the wallplate. The roof is constructed with clasped-purlin collars and tie-beams, with one purlin on each slope, while the hipped northern extension has a butt-purlin roof. The barn is noted for having been used during World War II for King George VI to have lunch with his officers when the area was designated for training. It features a winnowing door on the eastern side of the mid-storey and high pitching doors to the side bays.
