GV II

Barn. C16. Timber framed interior to concrete block walls some brick and flint and corrugated asbestos cement roof. An aisled 6-bay barn with wide entrance to the east upper half-hipped end; plain gabale to west abuts lower building which is the east under half-hipped end; plain gable to west abuts lower building which is not of special interest. The long walls each have 5 galvanised steel lights, and the blocked west gable wall is in brickwork. At the entrance end the timber framework is partly exposed with brick and flint panels under weather-boarded gable: wide opening with sliding corrugated steel door. Interior: remains intact, on concrete floor. The west gate wall is built just beyond the last frame, suggesting a probable loss of a final half-hipped bay. Jowelled main posts to strutted main tie carring queen posts and heavy collar. Posts strutted to aisle plate, some wind bracing in bays 2, 3 and 4 from west. One main purlin and one aisle purlin. Main posts set to stone posts with spur walls in concrete block, tie back to plate level. Early rafters. A barn disguised externally with C20 work but excellently retained within.
