CHIEVELEY SU 74 SE GIDLEY LANE Hazelhanger Farm Barn 14/4/10005 II

Barn. Late C18 or early C19; altered later C19. TImber-framed with weatherboarded cladding on red brick plinth in Flemish bond. Half-hipped roof of corrugated iron, probably replacing thatch, tile-roofed added lean-to. 5 bays with rear (north) aisle and opposing central cart-entries, that at rear with added hipped-roofed midstrey. Lean-to added against right gable. Much of the original deep weather-boarding survives. Replacement board cart door on wouth side. Wide entrance and small window to lean-to. Left return has a 2-light window (with replacement glazing) and 2 inserted openings in the brick plinth. INTERIOR: the timber frame survives virtually intact: aisle posts have brick plinths; posts have square-cut or gunstock jowels and straight braces to plates and tie-beams; raking wall struts; collared queen-post-roof trusses with principal rafters, clasping diagonally-set purlins; yoked plank ridge; original rafters, and on north side, laths, some still with string attached, probably indicating former use of thatch as roofing material.
