Description
This is a complex of farm buildings comprising two barns and a farm building wing, situated approximately 100 metres east of Corn Hall. The northern barn likely dates from the 16th century and was reroofed. Further additions were made in the 17th or 18th century, including midstreys (intermediate bays) and a barn to the south. A southwest wing was added in the late 17th or 18th century, alongside 19th and 20th-century outshuts (lean-to additions). The building is constructed with a timber frame, set on brick plinths, and has a pantile roof, hipped at the north end and gabled at the south.
The original barn, at the north end, is a 5-bay structure. In the late 17th or early 18th century, it was reroofed, and midstreys were added on either side of the second bay from the north. A further 5-bay barn was then added to the south end, with a central midstrey on the western front. A long, narrow, 11-bay range on the west front of the south end may also date from the late 17th or 18th century. Subsequent 19th-century additions include an outshut on the west front, and a 20th-century outshut joins the rear (east) midstrey. A cylindrical concrete silo was built on the east side in 1924.
Internally, the original 5-bay barn features vertical studding with waney tension braces and jowled posts, with curved brackets replacing the original arch braces to the tie beams. The later roof has diagonally-set clasped purlins above the collars, straight wind-braces, and a complete set of common rafters without a ridgepiece. The later 5-bay south barn has midrails, unjowled posts with curved timber brackets to the tie-beams, a diagonal-set clasped side purlin roof, complete common rafters and a ridge-board. The southwest wing is timber-framed with some brick infill, featuring vertical studding, straight tension braces, diagonally-set clasped purlins above straight collars, common rafters, and a ridge-board; some reused tie-beams are present.
