G.V. II*

Large threshing barn, probably former Tithe Barn. C15 or earlier, extended mid C19. Timber frame, weatherboarded; large, steeply-pitched old tile half-hipped roof. Brick plinth. Rectangular plan of 6 framed bays with 2 hipped midstreys with aisles either side on the west; the right-hand midstrey has a dovecote in the gable. Also on the west, in front of the middle 2 bays is a horse-engine house with a double-hipped roof of corrugated iron, and a square plan of 2:2 framed bays and a queen strut roof. Interior: the barn has a complete timber frame of large square-section members of fine quality. Curved queen strut roof; clasped purlins and long straight braces. The posts have no jowls and each post has a diagonal slot 6 inches wide near the top, on the south side, which may indicate a form of earlier passing brace.
