Tithe Barn

The Tithe Barn is a building that has been converted into a house. It dates from the 17th century, with some additions from the 19th century, and was transformed into a residence in the 1970s. The structure is timber-framed, featuring exposed studding and rendered infilling, while the west elevation is weatherboarded. It has a plain tile roof and consists of three timber-framed bays, which originally included a central midstrey. The barn is two storeys high, standing on a plinth made of both brick and ragstone.

On the east (rear) elevation, there are tension braces at each end bay and three studs in the central bay on the first floor, with a central stud in each end bay on the ground floor. The gable ends also have tension braces on the first floor. Some later studding is present, featuring straight bracing. The roof is steeply pitched and hipped, with a gablet at the south end. A late 20th-century brick ridge stack is located towards the south end. The fenestration is irregular, with three pairs of two-light leaded casements and a central boarded door.

The west elevation includes a single-storey gabled and weatherboarded 19th-century addition extending west from the north end bay. There is also a 19th-century weatherboarded lean-to at the south end bay, which originally extended along the south gable end. A late 20th-century brick lean-to covers the rest of the elevation, featuring a boarded door towards the centre.

Inside, the barn retains exposed framing, with gunstock-jowled posts and chamfered arch-braced tie beams. The roof structure includes clasped purlins with diminishing principal rafters, cambered collars without queen struts, and ogee windbraces in the midstrey bay, along with an intermediate collar in the north end bay. The threshing-floor braces have horizontal boarding on the north side and vertical boarding on the south. The floor of the northwest addition is made of Accrington Nori brick.
