Barn In Former Mill Yard 50 Metres To North East Of Number 16

This is a barn located in a former mill yard, dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century. It features a timber frame set on a low brick sill and is covered in dark weatherboarding, topped with a steeply pitched roof made of corrugated iron. The barn has three low bays and faces south into the yard, with a double door opening in the middle bay on the south side. The structure includes heavy jowled posts and long curved braces that support cambered tie-beams. There is a face-halved scarf joint in the rear wallplate, and heavy straight inclined queen-posts support a single purlin on each side of the roof. A simple splayed scarf joint is present in the purlin over the truss, along with long tension braces extending from the corner posts to the sill-beam. Additionally, there are small quadrant braces from the 18th or 19th century in the door frame.
