Description
This is a barn located 30 meters north of Vine House in Westmill village, dating from the early 17th century. It features a timber frame that is weatherboarded on a low brick sill, topped with a steep thatched roof, which is currently covered by corrugated iron. The porch has a shingled roof. The barn consists of three bays and has a single aisle, with a gabled porch on the east side that originally faced west. There is a present door at the south end, while the double doors on the west are blocked, and there is a small winnowing door on the east. The structure includes jowled posts with angled curved braces supporting the arcade plate, cambered tie-beams, a queen-strut clasped-purlin roof, and straight tension braces in the walls. The joints are clearly numbered, and there is a face-halved bladed-scarf joint over each post in the wallplate. This barn is one of the buildings associated with the former Vine Farm.
