Description
This barn is located at the site of the Augustinian Priory, which was founded around 1195 by Theobald de Valeins. It is believed to have been converted into a barn in the late 17th century and was remodeled in the 20th century. The structure consists of five bays and is built from random stone and flint, topped with a hipped thatched roof.
Notable features include a cart doorway with a depressed four-centred archway made of red brick, and a small doorway with a two-centred pointed moulded arch and stone jambs, which has been blocked with red brick. The east end of the barn features diagonal buttresses and has a 20th-century high-level fixed light. This barn is part of a scheduled ancient monument, and further details can be found in the description of Abbey House, which includes information about excavations.
Local climate
Barn sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 96% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 50% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 14 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 87% of listed buildings. Of these, 8 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.
