CREETING ST MARY TM 05 NE 4/203 Barn about 30m north north east of the Old Rectory GV II Barn. Probably C16. Weatherboarded timber frame on later Flemish bond brick plinth. Interlocking concrete tile hipped roof.

Plan: Appears to be a 5-bay barn with a threshing bay at the centre. A floor has been inserted into all but the north east end bay.

Exterior: The south east front has large double doors at the centre and a small door to the left and right. The north west elevation facing the road has smaller double doors at the centre, a loft doorway above and a small window to the right. All are plank doors.

Interior: only partly accessible at time of survey 1989. Walls of slight scantling studding with long straight tension braces and no mid rail. The braces from the wall-ports to the tie-beams have been replaced with curved timber brackets. The roof structure is only visible at the north east end where there is a tall unchamfered crown-post with upward curving axial braces to the collar-purlin and common rafters without a ridge-piece. The other four crown-posts are expected to survive.
