Description

The North Barn at Sisservernes is a 17th-century aisled barn located on the south side of Rabley Heath Road in Codicote. This tall structure is weatherboarded and features a roof that combines plain tiles and machine-made tiles. The barn consists of six bays and has a clasped purlin roof, with tie beams supported by straight braces. The southwest side has a deep aisle, and the high side walls contribute to its impressive height. The interior has been altered with later divisions.
