Barn At Gill Mill

The barn at Gill Mill is a mid-19th century structure, with a datestone indicating it was built in 1853. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble, featuring dressed stone quoins and a weatherboarded timber frame. The roof is made of stone tiles and has half-hipped ends along with a hipped roof midstrey.

The barn has a three-bay layout with opposing cart entrances leading to a central threshing bay, and the southwest front showcases a large hipped-roof stone midstrey at the center, which includes plank double doors and a weatherboarded loft above. The sides of the midstrey are also weatherboarded. The northeast rear is similarly weatherboarded above a tall stone plinth and features plank double doors for the central cart entrance. The stone end walls are notable, particularly the northwest end wall, which has a small stone tablet inscribed with "EB over WS over 1853."

Inside, the barn has shaped jowls on the wall-posts, collar and tie-beam trusses, and two tiers of tenoned purlins along with intact common rafters and a ridgeboard. There is a loft over the midstrey, separated by a boarded partition.
