Barn and Attached Outbuildings at Old Hall Farm

The barn and attached outbuildings at Old Hall Farm date from the early to mid-17th century. The barn is constructed in English bond brickwork, with 18th-century random bond work and a mid-19th-century extension in Flemish bond to the east of the south end, along with a mid-19th-century clay lump extension to the west.

The barn has a five-bay layout aligned east-west, with extensions that enclose a yard to the south. Its exterior features 19th-century plank double doors leading to the threshing floor, and there is a pentice that links the extensions on the south side, where 19th-century brickwork has been added. Inside, the barn has 18th-century collar trusses with tenoned collars and two tiers of staggered butt-purlins, as well as a mid-19th-century elbowed truss with lap-jointed collars at the east end. Some of the timber used in the structure has been reused from late 16th or 17th-century floor beams and framing.

The outbuildings include a mid-18th-century single-storey range to the east of the south end, which has doors under the eaves on the east elevation. At the southern end of this range, there is a mid-19th-century stable that forms an L-plan extending to the west and enclosing the south side of the yard, featuring a central stable door on the north side. To the west of the south end, there is a mid-19th-century shelter shed that is open on the east side, supported by timber posts.

The 17th-century barn is contemporary with the stable and likely with Old Hall Farmhouse, forming part of a rare surviving group of high-status buildings related to the management of a 17th-century estate. The 18th and 19th-century additions, built in the traditional style, are significant components of this building group.
