Barn To North East Of Burycourt Farmhouse

The barn located to the northeast of Burycourt Farmhouse is a large threshing barn, likely a former Tithe Barn, dating from the 15th century or earlier, with an extension added in the mid-19th century. It features a timber frame that is weatherboarded and has a large, steeply-pitched old tile half-hipped roof, supported by a brick plinth. The barn has a rectangular plan consisting of six framed bays, with two hipped midstreys and aisles on either side to the west. The right-hand midstrey includes a dovecote in its gable. Additionally, on the west side, in front of the middle two bays, there is a horse-engine house with a double-hipped roof made of corrugated iron, featuring a square plan of two by two framed bays and a queen strut roof. Inside, the barn boasts a complete timber frame constructed from large square-section members of fine quality, with a curved queen strut roof, clasped purlins, and long straight braces. The posts lack jowls, and each post has a diagonal slot six inches wide near the top on the south side, which may suggest a form of earlier passing brace.
