Ox Byre And Attached Wall Approximately 30 Metres Souteast East Of Manor Farmhouse

The ox byre, now part of Cogges Farm Museum, dates from the 18th century and was altered in the early to mid-19th century. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble and features a hipped thatch roof. The building is in an L-plan shape with a fodder room added to the rear right in the early 19th century. There are timber lintels over a central 20th-century door and over shuttered windows. Inside, the ox byre contains seven bays of 19th-century stalls, with stone water troughs positioned between each pair of stalls and a feeding passage with a plank partition at the rear. The roof is made of "bundle thatch" supported by cross beams. Additionally, a limestone rubble wall with ashlar coping extends approximately 7 meters to the right. In the 18th century, the building had entries in the end walls. The ox byre's roof, made of bundles of faggots bound with withies, is a rare survival.
