Barn At Harmansole Farm

The barn at Harmansole Farm is likely from the 15th and 16th centuries. It features a timber frame and is weatherboarded above a partly chequer brick plinth. The roof is covered with clay plain tiles and has a half hip at the southeast end, with a brick gable from the 18th or 19th century at the northeast end. The barn is L-shaped with aisles and has a sealed weatherboarded and gabled wagon entry on the northeast elevation. There are later boarded doors at the southeast end and blocked narrower entries on the southwest elevation, along with a window at the north end. The northwest elevation includes three windows, a roof light, and a door.

Inside, the north wing runs on a northeast axis and consists of roughly 3½ bays on the north side and 2½ bays on the south side. It has a crown-post roof with aisle braces and braces to the tie beam and aisle plate, although some braces are missing. The aisled wing at right angles has three bays on the east side and four on the west side, featuring a side purlin roof with tie beam and aisle-plate braces, some of which are also missing. There are several edge-halved scarf joints in the aisle-plate at tie-beam level, and many rafters have been renewed.
