Description
The barn located to the south of South Litchfield Grange is a Grade II* listed building dating from the 17th century and early 19th century. It is a massive rectangular structure comprising eight bays, featuring former openings on each side at the third and sixth bays. The sixth bay on the east elevation includes a deep porch with walled sides. The barn has a thatched roof, with a hipped finish on the lower roof of the porch and lower eaves supported by horizontal timber brackets.
The walls are constructed of red brick in English bond, with a distinctive exterior pattern of alternating equal bands of brick (three courses) and knapped flint (three courses). A deep plinth is formed as a stepped moulding in the middle of a brick band. The east elevation has a slight slope from south to north, with band measurements of 8.4, 9.3, and 11.3. Vertical ventilation slits are present at two levels, although some are now filled, and a few later windows have been inserted. Two of the former entrances have been filled with brick walling.
Inside, the roof truss features a tie-beam that supports straight angled struts, with a collar positioned at a higher level. There are two lines of purlins jointed into the principal rafters, along with some wind braces. The four northern bays have an inserted floor. Historically, the barn is noted to have served as a meeting place for Civil War armies.
