Aisled Barn At Mundenbury (70 Metres To South East Of House)

This is an aisled barn located at Mundenbury, likely dating from the 13th or early 14th century based on jointing techniques, with end bays from the 17th century and a roof from the 19th century. The barn is timber-framed and weatherboarded, resting on a renewed red brick sill, topped with a low-pitched corrugated iron roof. It features a 6-bay, 2-aisled design facing south, with a later lean-to on the south side that is not of special interest. The original 3-bay structure is represented by the second, third, and fourth bays from the west.

Inside, there are heavy jowled arcade posts, each trenched for passing-brace on the side closer to the midstray, supported on a plate and spur sill-wall. The barn has jowled wall-posts and aisle ties, with a socket for a brace from the arcade post to the tie beam below the passing-brace. Heavy square-section straight braces connect the posts to the arcade plates, which are jointed using stop-splayed scarf joints with under-squinted butts, transverse keys, and seven face pegs. The 17th-century replacement cambered tie-beams support an inclined queen-strut and former side-purlin roof. The aisle structure was extended by one bay to the west and two bays to the east in the 17th century, featuring similar jowled posts, with the arcade plate jointed by face-halved bladed scarf joints over each post. The side walls were heightened in the 19th century, and a lower pitched roof was added. This barn is an unusual survival of a medieval aisled barn structure, likely built by the Furnivall family as sub-tenants of the Earls of Richmond.
