Barn At Gardners Farm (5 Metres To North East Of House)

This is a barn located at Gardners Farm, built in the early 17th century. It features a timber frame set on a flint and brick sill, with weatherboarding and a steep old red tile roof. The barn is a tall six-bay double structure facing south. Inside, there is an original partition that divides the space into two halves, each with a gabled entrance in the middle bay, which has a jettied overhanging gable. The barn has jowled posts connected by a high-set wall rail. There are pitching doors at the rear above the rail and a small winnowing door in the middle bay. The roof is supported by queen posts that hold the lower clasped purlin, with an upper butt-purlin on each slope and a strainer at mid-span in each bay. Later additions include raking wind-braces to provide extra support for the lower purlin.
