Description
Little Barn is a structure that likely dates back to the 16th century. It was originally a smaller barn from Great Hormead near Buntingford and was re-erected in 1964. The exterior is faced with modern brick and tile, and windows have been inserted. Inside, the barn features four bays, an arch-braced tie-beam, and a queen-post roof. The timbers used are heavier than those found in the larger barn, and the studding is closer and more even.

Little Barn sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 82% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 79% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 57% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
