Description
The barn at The Pale Farm, located 20 meters northwest of the house, dates from the 16th and 17th centuries. It features a timber frame with dark weatherboarding and a steep old red tile roof that slopes down to the eastern part, which has a half hip and a gablet at the eastern end. The structure is an unaisled barn with six bays oriented east-west. The older eastern section consists of two bays, which were originally three or more, and includes jowled posts with quadrant convex braces supporting the middle truss. Heavy curved queen-posts hold up the clasped-purlin roof, which is reinforced with straight wind braces. There is a projecting northern outshut in the second bay from the east. The walls have convex curved braces and full-height heavy studs, with straight braces at the corners.
The taller western section has four bays and features jowled bay posts, while the mid-bay posts are unjowled. Straight braces support the tie-beams, and there is a mid-height rail in the walls with straight tension braces above. The roof in this section also has inclined queen-posts and a face-halved bladed scarf joint.
