Description

This is a 15th-century barn located about 50 metres south-west of Court Lodge. It is timber framed and weather boarded, resting on a high base of ragstone and red brick, topped with a plain tiled roof. The roof is hipped with gablets and features a hipped midstrey on the left side. Inside, the barn consists of three bays with terminal outshots and aisles. There are passing shores to the main arcade posts, short, deeply cut jowls on the aisle posts and arcade posts, and deep, thin, eccentrically placed arched braces supporting the tie beams. The roof is supported by three plain crown posts that are braced to the collar purlin. The barn is associated with the manor of Bilsington Inferior, which was appropriated to the Augustinian Canons of Bilsington Priory.
