Description

The barn located 50 meters southwest of Crow's Hall is a manorial outbuilding that is currently used for agricultural purposes. This complex building dates back to the 16th century and consists of three main phases, forming a single range that is 72 meters long.

In the first phase, there are 9 or 10 bays to the west, likely serving as a barn. The structure is timber framed, with the south wall featuring intact heavy studding and a mid rail. The north wall has been rebuilt in red brick, and the two easternmost bays were re-fronted in the mid-16th century when the court hall was added to the north, likely to create a symmetrical facade. This section includes diapered brickwork and two original three-light upper windows made of brick. The roof is covered with double Roman tiles. To the north, there is a 17th-century gabled timber porch; the east wall of this porch, which is enclosed by a later addition, has old plaster that is decorated to resemble brickwork. The east end retains three bays of the original queen-post roof, while the rest was re-roofed in the 20th century.

The second phase features a three-bay court hall. The north wall is made of red brick with diapering, with some repairs from the mid-20th century, while the south wall is timber framed. The roof is covered with pantiles and includes three brick mullion and transom windows on the upper floor, of which two are intact. Above a doorway, there are four 16th-century bricks with fools' heads, although they are now much decayed. The upper floor structure is mostly concealed, and the roof, originally of queen-post type, has an intact truss at the east end.

The third phase consists of six irregular bays to the east, which may have been used for stabling. The north wall and east gable end are constructed of English bond red brick, while the south side is timber framed but now has a ground floor that is underbuilt. The roof is also pantiled and features two storeys and an attic, the latter of which has been partly removed. There are various window openings on the north side, including one intact brick window and traces of stucco quoining. The south wall has several diamond-mullioned windows. The upper floors have plain joists, mostly set flat, and in the fourth bay from the end, there is an inserted stack and a solid-tread straight stair. The roof structure includes clasped and butt purlins.
