Description

Peterstone Farm Barn is a medieval barn with early 19th-century features, located in Burnham Overy. It is part of the large north-south oriented range of the Peterstone Augustinian Canons Priory, which was founded before 1200 and later became part of Walsingham Abbey in 1449. The exterior is constructed from brick and flint with red brick dressings, topped with a red pantiled roof. The barn has three sections and lean-to penthouses on all sides.

The east front features a cart-shed entrance with an off-axis brick hipped roof. Although external medieval details are obscured by later additions, the south gable has a lower string of a large window and a dressed stone buttress with chamfered corners at the south-east corner. There is also a two-centred dressed stone arch at the north-east corner, which may date from the early 14th century. Inside, there are discernible windows in the south gable and south-east, along with three door arches at the north end. The barn has undergone two internal heightenings, and its orientation suggests it may have been used for domestic purposes rather than for the church. Architectural details indicate that it is a building associated with the Holkham Estate.
