2/28 Two barns aligned North- - South and to the West of Place Farmhouse GV II

Two barns, aligned north-south and placed end to end to the west of Place Farmhouse. Late C18. Red brick and timber-framing; corrugated asbestos roofing. The northern barn has thick brick walls laid in English bond with traces of diaper patterns in blue headers. Roof contains reused timbers: in 12 short bays, with a ridge piece, and principal rafters set on edge. Two rows of stepped butt purlins. The trusses have alternately a tie-beam or a double collar, an unusual arrangement. Small gablets at the north and south ends of the roof have been infilled. Diamond-shaped ventilation openings in the walls also mainly infilled. The southern barn is timber-framed with some remains of original weatherboarding, but some of the walling has been removed and replaced by corrugated iron. Frame in 5 bays: straight tie-beams, long arched braces, main posts with long jowls. No middle rail: primary braces and bisected studs. Roof in 10 bays, 2 bays corresponding to one wall bay: 2 rows of stepped butt purlins and a ridge-piece.
