Barn And Attached Stables Approximately 40 Metres South Of Duttons Farmhouse

This barn and attached stables, likely dating from the 15th century, stand approximately 40 metres south of Duttons Farmhouse. The barn is constructed of roughly-laid limestone rubble with a gabled roof covered in Welsh slates to the front and corrugated iron to the rear. It follows a 5-bay plan, incorporating a central threshing floor. A porch with an early 19th-century hipped roof has been added. Ventilation holes are present in the gable ends, and medieval buttresses are located at the rear entrance, which has a stop-chamfered timber lintel. Inside, the barn features raised cruck timbers framing the threshing floor, each with arch-braced collars and through-purlins leading to a saddled apex on the right side. C17 collar trusses with through-purlins are found in the end bays. Behind the barn are stables and a granary, probably built in the early 19th century. These are also of coursed limestone rubble with a half-hipped corrugated-iron roof, featuring segmental stone arches over windows and a central doorway. Stone steps lead to a stone shelf, providing access to a central loft doorway for the granary.
