Barn, 50 Metres East Of St Petronella'S Church

This barn, located 50 metres east of St. Petronella's Church, dates from the early 17th century and incorporates main components that were reused from a 13th-century barn. It features six bays and two aisles, with doorways located at bays 2 and 5. The roof is covered with asbestos and corrugated iron sheets. The walls are weather-boarded timber framing set on a plinth made of flint and limestone rubble, with red brick quoins.

The barn exhibits curved arcade and tie beam braces, as well as aisle braces that extend from the aisle tie-beam up to the principal post head. Most of the principal posts and tie beams, along with sections of the eaves and arcade plates, have been rejoined and reused in the current 17th-century structure, originally being part of the earlier 13th-century barn. Each truss of the original barn was braced with two pairs of passing braces, one above the other, which were housed at the upper end into the tie-beam with a secret notched-lap joint and at the lower end into a post in the external wall. The existing plinth includes re-used carved limestone fragments from the 13th to 16th centuries. The aisle walls were raised and the roof was rebuilt around 1800, reusing old rafters.
