The Old Barley Mow

The Old Barley Mow is a town house dating from the late 15th century, with a 18th-century rear bay and various alterations. The front gable features timber framing with tension braces, which jetties over a colourwashed brick ground floor from the 18th century. The right side wall is also timber framed, while the left wall is made of 18th-century chequer brick. The rear bay is constructed of flint rubble with brick dressings. The building has a gabled old tile roof, with brick ridge and end stacks. It has a two-unit plan and a two-storey gable facing the street, which includes a horizontal sliding sash window above an 8-pane sash window with shutters. The left side wall has segmental brick arches over a 20th-century door and casements. Inside, there are chamfered and stopped beams with heavy joists, as well as chamfered arch braced tie beams supporting a three-bay collar-truss roof, which features curved windbraces and chamfered and stopped purlins.
