Barn, 50 Metres North East Of Baylam Hall

This barn, located 50 metres north-east of Baylham Hall, dates from the late 18th century. It features nine bays, with two midstreys on both the north and south faces, each positioned two bays from the ends. The structure is timber-framed and weatherboarded, standing on a plinth of red brick, and is topped with hipped pantiled roofs. The midstreys on the north face include boarded barn doors. The framing is of high quality, made from both pine and oak, with many principal oak members reused from an earlier building, likely from the 16th century. Each bay is divided by a storey post, and each half-bay contains a pair of straight primary braces with close-studding. The main trusses feature knee-braced tie-beams, queen-struts that are halved into the principal rafters, and lower collars. The intermediate trusses consist of collars and principals only. Each slope has two tiers of purlins, with the upper tier clasped by high collars and the lower tier butted and joggled.
