Description
The barn at Moor Hall Farm, dating from the late 15th century, is a three-stead threshing barn constructed with a weatherboarded timber frame and topped with a corrugated asbestos roof. It is a single-storey building featuring a gabled transept entrance on the south side, which is fitted with double timber doors. The opposing doorway on the north side has been blocked with corrugated iron. On the south side, there are 18th-century outshuts added under pantiled lean-to roofs, while the main roof is gabled.
Inside, the barn has a timber frame made of heavy scantling and consists of four bays. The tie beams are supported by early 19th-century knuckle braces, which have replaced large arched braces. The roof structure features a double queen post design, with square lower queen posts and arched braces connecting to the arcade plate and upper tie beams. The upper tie beams support secondary square-section queen posts that rise to collars, and there are two tiers of purlins: a lower tier of trenched purlins and an upper tier of through purlins. Please note that Moor Hall Farm itself is not included in this listing.
