Barn Approximately 20 Metres East Of Church Farmhouse

This barn, located approximately 20 meters east of Church Farmhouse, likely has origins dating back to the 17th century but has been significantly repaired and partly rebuilt in the early to mid-19th century. It is timber-framed and clad with weatherboarding, built on low footings primarily made of red brick, with a sandstone plinth on the east wall. The roof is covered with peg tiles.

The barn is designed as a threshing barn oriented roughly north-south, featuring opposing full-height double doorways that lead onto the threshing floor, situated south of the center. The barn is built on a slope; the western doorway is level with the ground, while the eastern doorway is elevated to allow for loading directly from a cart. There is a 19th-century lean-to outshot at the southern end.

On the exterior, both long sides of the barn have full-height double plank doors. There is a smaller plank door to the left on the western side, as well as another similar door next to the outshot on the same side. Additionally, there is a small gabled dovecote positioned high on the right side of the western wall. The roof is half-hipped on the left (north) side and hipped on the right, extending over the outshot.

Inside, the barn is open to the roof and features a 4-bay frame that includes elements from both the 17th and 19th centuries. The main doorways span the full width of the bays, with the wall posts on each side being from the 19th century. Many of the other main posts appear to be from the 17th century, as does some of the lower tier of framing, although most of the framing is from the 19th century and includes straight tension braces. Several timbers are clearly reused. The tie-beams may date back to the 17th century, while the trusses are positioned alongside rather than on top of the tie beams, featuring A-frames with clasped purlins and small straight windbraces. Each side of the threshing floor has low framed walls lined with planks, which include large raking braces to the wall posts.

This barn is part of an attractive group of buildings near the Church of St Thomas A Becket.
