Bury Barn Inn With Attached Stables And Dovecote Wings

The Bury Barn Inn, with its attached stables and dovecote wings, is likely of 18th century origin, although it may have stood on the site of earlier manorial barns dating back to the 16th century. The building is constructed of rubble with a Cotswold stone roof, featuring coped verges and ball finials. The barn itself is long, with eight bays and projecting gabled entries. A two-storey, three-window coach-house and stable wing links to the north and has ashlar dressings, which were painted at the time of the resurvey. The corner of the coach-house bears dates – "1850" on the keystone of a doorway and "1859" in a re-set cast iron rainwater head. A set-back cart-shed is located to the right, constructed of coursed rubble and dressed stone, with a blocked segment-headed entry and pigeon holes in the entry itself. Modern inn extensions have been added to the left of the midstrey. At the rear of the building, three domestic windows are flanked by two buttresses. Internally, the barn features a simple collar and tie-beam roof.
