Barn 20 Metres North East Of Hardwick Hall

This is a storage barn located 20 metres north-east of Hardwick Hall, dating from the late 16th century. It was converted into a threshing barn in the early 19th century and later adapted for grain drying in the late 20th century. The barn features a weatherboarded timber frame resting on a plinth made of brick and flint, with some clay lump, and has a pantiled roof. It is a single storey structure.

The north front has double timber doors positioned to the right of centre, with a 20th-century pedestrian door to the left. The south front includes a clay lump outshut beneath a catslide roof. Inside, the barn has a close-studded timber frame with jowled principal studs. The tie beams are supported by arched braces flanking the cart entrance, with one brace replaced by a knuckle brace. The roof structure includes principals supported on queen struts, collars, curved windbracing, and two tiers of purlins, with the upper tier clasped.
