Description
The Barn Theatre is a range of former farm buildings that are weatherboarded and have slate roofs. It includes a 17th-century aisled barn, which is said to have been relocated from another site and is currently used as a theatre. The building features some exposed timber framing, and while the roof timbers are largely intact, they are partly concealed. The conversion to its current use took place in 1931.
