East Range of Barns at Graveley Bury Farm

The East Range of Barns at Graveley Bury Farm consists of a range of barns, with the northern barn dating from the 17th century and the southern barn featuring a 19th-century roof structure. The barns are constructed with a timber frame on a brick sill and are dark weatherboarded, topped with steeply pitched roofs now covered in corrugated iron. The northern barn has thatch beneath the iron sheeting, and its northern end is half-hipped. This long range of barns is located on the eastern side of the yard in front of the farmhouse, facing west. The ground rises to the south, making the long southern barn, which has central double doors on the west side, stand higher than the northern barn, which features a gabled projecting porch on the west side. The northern barn is an aisled barn with five bays, characterized by jowled posts, long curved braces to the arcade plate, long straight braces to the tie beams, and collar trusses with vertical queen struts supporting a single clasped purlin on each roof slope. There is a face-halved bladed scarf joint in the wall plate over the post. The southern barn has 19th-century king-post roof trusses.
