Description

This is a 15th-16th century timber-framed and plastered barn, located on Lavenham Barn Street. The west front displays exposed timber framing, while the south wall is faced with flint up to the gable. The roof is tiled. The building was restored in 1936. It is two storeys high. The windows are mullioned casements with lattice leaded lights. On the upper floor, there are two blocked original five-light windows featuring oak diamond mullions. The doorway is a modern restoration, accessed by steps from the pavement. The interior contains a crown post roof.

The Barn sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 710 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 88% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 85% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 58% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
