Barn 50 Metres North Of Manor Farmhouse

ASHBOCKING THE STREET TM 15 SE 7/5 Barn 50m north of Manor Farmhouse GV II Barn, early or mid C17. 3 bays. Timber-framed and weatherboarded. Pantiled roof,once thatched. Good framing: arch-braced tie beams (all but one brace are replaced by C19 knees). 2-tier butt-purlin roof; the upper tier of purlins are wind-braced. The two outer bays are subdivided at roof level by trusses having principal rafters, collar-beams and knees bracing the principals to the posts; a technique not normally found in barns in Suffolk before the late C18, but one giving much greater space through the omission of tiebeams.
