Description
The barn opposite Manor Farmhouse in Buscot is a Grade II listed building dating from around 1870. It features mass concrete walls constructed in 2-foot courses, with gable ends made of Bridgewater bricks capped with dressed stone. The barn has a gabled pantile roof that is lined on the inside with tongue and groove boarding. It measures 60 feet long, 162 feet wide, and has eaves at a height of 12 feet 6 inches, with concrete walls that are 1 foot 4 inches thick at the base. The interior has an aisled plan with 10 bays, and the original utilitarian frame remains intact. This barn is reputed to be the earliest concrete farm building in the country, built at the expense of Robert Tertius Campbell of Buscot Park as part of his plan to industrialize the estate for sugar beet and alcohol production. It is illustrated in Nigel Harvey's book, "Old Farm Buildings," published in 1980.
