Description

The Barn in the grounds of the Windmill is a 1788 timber-framed barn located near the windmill. It has three bays, is weatherboarded, and features a tiled roof. The barn is believed to be slightly older than the windmill and was used for storing grain that was transported to the mill for grinding.
