North East Barn Almshoe Bury (75 Metres To North Of House)

This building is a barn located at Almshoe Bury, dating from the early 17th century. It features a timber frame set on a tarred brick sill and is covered in dark weatherboarding with a steeply pitched roof now finished with slates. An iron vane is positioned at the west end of the ridge. The barn is tall and consists of five bays with a single aisle on the north side. There is a central entrance through the aisle, which has an opposing doorway leading into a covered yard.

The structure includes chamfered jowled posts, long straight braces connecting to the arcade plates, and cambered tie-beams. Each slope of the roof has two purlins, with the upper purlin clasped by a high collar and the lower supported by straight inclined queen-posts that widen at the head. The wallplates over the post heads feature face-halved bladed scarf joints. The aisle-posts are jowled and have curved braces leading to the aisle, and the rafters are thin, suggesting they were originally intended for thatch.
