East Range of Farm Buildings at Cross Farm

The east range of farm buildings at Cross Farm is a late 16th-century structure with minor alterations made in the 19th century. It features a timber frame set on red brick sills and is covered in dark weatherboarding with steep old red tile roofs. The range consists of tall barn-like buildings facing west. The southern part has four bays, a rear aisle, and an open front supported by posts. It includes heavy jowled posts with braces to the arcade plate and tie-beams, forming a clasped purlin roof with inclined straight queen-posts. There is a squint butted scarf joint in the wallplate. The longer northern part is not aisled and is enclosed at the front, constructed in a similar style to the southern section. It has a central post supporting wide bays with staggered mid-height rails and features gabled opposed doorways. The lower part at the northern end dates from the 19th century.
