Barn At Hall Farm

The barn at Hall Farm is an early 14th-century timber-framed structure that features brick walls added in the 18th century, with some flint incorporated as well. It has a thatched roof and the north side showcases two symmetrically placed double timber doors that rise into swept eyebrows beneath the thatch. There are blocked slit ventilation lights at intervals, and 20th-century doors have been inserted to the right of center. The barn retains four stepped buttresses and has a half hipped roof, although it was originally gabled, with the east gable displaying tumbling. The south side has opposing entrances that are now blocked, along with two 20th-century sloping brick buttresses to the west and several 18th-century brick piers throughout.

Inside, the brickwork transitions from Flemish to English bond and the barn consists of eight bays. There are seven pairs of square-section aisle posts set on timber sole spurs that extend from the base of the wall posts. Many of these sole spurs have been replaced with brick, and some wall posts were either removed in the 18th century or are embedded in the brickwork from that period. Curved braces rise on both sides of the aisle posts to the arcade plate and inwards to the tie beams. Additional spurs from the aisle posts connect with the wall plate of the outer timber members. Curved passing braces rise from the wall posts, passing through the wall plate spur, through the aisle posts, and tenoning into the underside of the tie beams. From the tie beams, Queen struts rise to the lower of two tiers through the purlins. Notably, there are no principal rafters or windbracing. The Hall farmhouse has been demolished.
