Description
The north east barn at Bury Farm is an early 18th century structure that incorporates many chamfered floor timbers, likely sourced from the Bury, which was rebuilt in the early 18th century. The barn features a timber frame that is dark weatherboarded and has a pitched slate roof. It is a tall barn with five bays, facing south, and includes a gabled porch that projects to the south, along with a rear outshut. The south wall has heavy jowled posts, while the north wall features unjowled posts made from re-used floor beams. The mid-bay posts and mid-height rail are jointed in-line without jowls. The north wallplate is supported by long curved braces and has simple edge-halved scarf joints. The cambered tie beams are reinforced with long straight braces, although the trenches for passing braces above are now missing. The roof is supported by inclined queen-struts.
