Cherry Barn And Attached Outbuildings, Approximately 5 Metres East Of Bayllols Manor

Cherry Barn and its attached outbuildings, located approximately 5 meters east of Bayllols Manor, is a significant historical structure. The barn is a 2-bay cruck range dating from around 1350, with a 2-bay mid-15th century outbuilding at one end and a likely 17th century two-bay barn attached at right angles to the cruck range. The cruck range features a three-bay mid outbuilding at the end. The building is constructed from stone coursed rubble with large timber framing and weatherboarding, topped with a thatched roof that has a half-hipped left end and an area of old plain tiles at the junction of the ranges. It has been modified to now include a 4-bay barn with a cross-range outbuilding, which has undergone 20th century alterations, including gabled midstrey on the road side and double sliding doors to the cross-range.

Inside, the barn features double Queen-post roofs in both the 4-bay barn range and the 17th century outbuilding, supported by windbraces. The cruck range showcases full crucks with stop-chamfered braces and blades. Historically, the farmstead was owned by the Bayllol family from 1200 to 1350, followed by the Brounz family from around 1350 to 1484. In 1484, it was purchased by William Waynflete, Bishop of Winchester. The cruck range may have originally served as a hall for retainers or lesser visitors, while the mid-15th century outbuilding, now part of the barn, was likely used for brewing or malting.
