Description
Beggars Barn is a 18th-century barn and cart shed located on the northwest side of Framfield Pound Lane. The structure features a timber frame that is faced with weatherboard on a rubble plinth at the northeast end and a brick plinth at the southwest end. The roof is half hipped and tiled, extending as a catslide over the shed on the southeast side.
The barn is designed as a three-bay threshing barn with central wagon doorways. It includes a full-height wagon doorway with remnants of double boarded doorways on the northwest side, and a low doorway leading to the shed on the opposite wall. Architectural details include jowelled bay posts, intermediate posts in the side bays and end walls, and intermediate rails between posts, except in the northwest walls of the side bays. The barn also features stud panels with tension bracing, corner ties to wall plates, and curved braces to the principal beams. The trusses are supported by dwarf queen posts to the principal rafters, and the collar roof has clasped through purlins.
In the northeast end wall, there is a boarded door and a boarded pitching door located above the intermediate rail. The adjoining cart shed consists of five bays with a wide central bay, supported by timber posts on masonry pedestals and curved braces to the bressumer. One post has been renewed without a pedestal or braces. An adjoining storage shed is present but is not of special interest.
