5/94 Barn immediately SW of Church Farmhouse

II

Barn. Probably C17, partly rebuilt and extended in C18. Timber-framed with brick infilling and partly rendered, partly rebuilt and extended in Flemish and English bond red brick. Red clay pantile roof with gabled ends.

Rectangular plan 5-bay barn with opposed cart entrances to central threshing bay. In C18 the barn was largely rebuilt in brick (except for second bay from east end), the roof was replaced and outshuts were added at the rear north and at the front of the east end.

South front has large plank double doors at centre; bay to right has exposed timber frame with brick infill and to right of that the main roof is carried down as catslide over brick outshut. At rear (north) the roof is similarly carried down over brick outshuts.

Interior: Bay to east of centre has timber frame front and back walls with exposed straight tension braces, studding, jowled storey posts and plaster infil. The roof has tie-beams with curved braces; the C18 roof above has collars, one with queen-posts and principals with tenoned purlins.

Note: This is a rare surviving example for North Norfolk of a timber- framed barn.
