GV II

Barn. Part early C17, part early C18. Timber-framed and weatherboarded with pantiled roof. 2 high cart entrances on the front, and 2 small lean-to extensions on the rear. 10 bays: the 5 bays to the north formed the original C17 barn. Full height studs, with short arched braces at the corners, halved against the outside of the studs; long arched braces to tie-beams, replaced in all but one truss by bolted knees. Roof in short bays, trenched, clasped purlins and an irregular scatter of windbraces. The 5 southern bays are C18, with primary braces and bisected studs. Long arched braces remaining to the trusses. Roof with a ridge, in a combination of clasped and butt purlins, the principal rafters deeper, but no wider, than the common rafters. The roof bays do not correspond to the wall bays. This end of the barn has a number of reused sections of wall-plate, taken from a late medieval or early C16 house, with housings and shutter-slides for diamond-mullioned windows, 2 of 6 lights.
