Description
The Corn Barn at Manor Farm, located 7 meters southwest of the house, is a 16th-century barn constructed with a timber frame on a renewed red brick sill. The timbers are grooved for wattle-and-daub infill, although plaster is only present on the upper part of the front. The lower part and other walls are finished with dark weatherboarding. The barn has a steeply pitched roof that is half-hipped at the west end and is currently covered with corrugated iron. It features three bays and faces north, with double doors located in the middle bay. The wall-plate is raised to accommodate lean-to porches on both the north and south sides of the middle bay. The structure includes jowled posts with long square-section braces connecting to the tie-beams, as well as tension bracing to the corner posts. The roof is a clasped-purlin design with collars only, and it was originally thatched until around 1917.
