Description
Guy's of Norton Garden Centre is a former barn dating from the early to mid-17th century. The structure features five bays and two aisles, constructed with a timber frame and covered in weatherboarding. It has a thatched roof with hipped clasped purlins, although the east end has been altered to a gabled design. The barn was converted into a shop around 1980. At the eastern end, there is a two-storey attached building from the 18th century, which is also timber-framed, rendered, and has a thatched roof.
