Barn At Moorhams Farm

The barn at Moorhams Farm is a 16th-century threshing barn that has been adapted for use as loose boxes, with a farrowing pen and mangers added to the northeast side. The structure features timber framing with brick infilling on the northwest, northeast, and southeast sides, incorporating bricks from the late 16th century, 18th century, and 19th century. The southwest side is covered with weatherboarding. Originally thatched, the roof is now covered with corrugated iron sheeting.

This four-bay barn has a double cart entrance in the penultimate bay and jowled upright posts. The third bay includes 20th-century renewed tie beams with iron bolts and renewed tension braces on either side of the cart entry. The roof has angled queen struts beside the cart entrance and queen posts elsewhere, with clasped purlins and no ridgepiece. The wall frame on three sides features a midrail with diagonal tension braces, while the southwest side has early 19th-century framing. An upright post to the left of the cart entrance is dated 1733, with an additional mark from 1816. The southwest side also includes a 19th-century lean-to extension, and the northeast side has a 19th-century farrowing pen and mangers, which retain some old elm weatherboarding on the exterior.
