Description
The Tithe Barn is a 17th-century barn constructed from coursed limestone rubble, topped with a stone tile roof featuring gabled ends adorned with small carved stone acorn finials. The barn has a plan consisting of seven bays, with a central threshing bay that includes opposing cart entrances and a porch on the south side.
On the exterior, there are central doorways with plank double doors, and the south side features a large gabled porch, although its cart entrance is boarded over. The gable of the porch and the end gables are embellished with carved stone finials, and there are ventilation slits in the walls.
Inside, the barn boasts a fine seven-bay roof structure supported by queen-post collar and tie-beam trusses, along with three tiers of tenoned purlins. The tie-beams rest on short posts that are set into stone corbels in the walls, with curved braces extending to the tie-beams. The porch has a queen-post roof, and the common rafters are intact, trenched into the middle purlins.
