Description
This is a barn located 20 meters to the northwest of Staples Farmhouse, dating from the mid-17th century. It features a timber frame resting on a low red brick sill and is covered in dark weatherboarding with a steeply pitched roof now finished with small slates. The barn has a tall three-bay structure facing east, with double doors in the middle bay and a small winnowing door in the gabled rear porch. The posts are unjowled, with straight tension braces at the corners and along the mid bay, connecting to a mid-height rail that is tennoned in line. Inside, there are heavy tie-beams supported by long curved braces, and the roof structure includes a collar-beam and clasped-purlins with diagonal struts extending from the corners to the purlins within the roof plane. Each wide bay features a central wall-post.
