Description

The barn at Nobles Farm, located 50 meters east of the house, dates from the late 16th century, with a roof from the 19th century and a rebuilt aisle. It features a timber frame set on a red brick sill, is dark weatherboarded, and has a low-pitched slate roof. The barn is a 4-bay, single-aisled structure facing north, with double doors in the second bay from the west and an aisle on the south side. It has jowled posts with ogee moulding at the thickening, long curved braces connecting to cambered tie beams and the arcade plate. There are two braces to the tie-beam from the post on the northwest of the door bay, and curved tension braces in the walls above the mid-height rail. The walls were heightened and the aisle was rebuilt in the 19th century, featuring a queen-strut roof.
