Aisled Barn 12 Yards East of House at Redericks Farm

The aisled barn located 12 yards east of the house at Redericks Farm dates from the 15th or 16th century. It is a high, five-bay structure with a timber frame set on a brick base, covered in weatherboarding and topped with a steep gabled roof now covered in corrugated sheeting. The north side features a central projecting gabled porch, while the opposite wall has a small winnowing door. There is a hipped extension on the blind end, which is one bay in size and at the same height as the main barn. Lower timber-framed weatherboarded extensions surround the barn, all with corrugated sheet roofs. Inside, the barn has passing braces connecting the wall posts to the tie beams, as well as long curved braces from the arcade posts to the arcade plates. The roof is multi-purlin with wind braces, possibly indicating a reroofing of an earlier aisled structure from the 15th or 16th century. This barn is an exceptionally interesting late medieval survival and is the better preserved of the two aisled barns in the area.
