North East Barn At Langley Farm

The north-east barn at Langley Farm is a Grade II listed building dating from the early 17th century. It features a timber structure set on a low brick sill, with dark weatherboarding and steeply pitched old red tile roofs. The barn has a tall design with five bays, facing south, and includes central double doors along with a lower gabled projection at the rear of the same bay. Architectural details include stepped jowled posts, heavy curved tension braces in the walls, and long curved braces supporting the cambered tie-beams. Inside, upright queen-struts support the collar in the trusses, which in turn hold a clasped-purlin roof, where the upper purlin is clasped by the collar and the lower purlin is butt-jointed. Straight windbraces are positioned above the lower purlin, and there is a face-halved bladed scarf joint in the wallplate. Additionally, some coursed-pebble infill panels can be found at the west end of the barn.
