Granary At Park Farm

The granary at Park Farm is a cart shelter with a granary above, dating from the mid to late 18th century, with some 20th-century cladding and roof tiles. It is timber-framed on a brick plinth and clad in weatherboarding or vertical boards, featuring a half-hipped roof covered with 20th-century tiles.

The structure is two storeys high and has an open front on the ground floor, supported by square wooden posts. Above the ground floor, there is a small 20th-century casement window in the gable. The south-west side is weatherboarded and includes a pedestrian door, while the south-east and north-west sides are covered in vertical boarding.

Inside, the ground floor features a midrail to the wallframe and exposed floor joists. A wooden step ladder provides access to the upper floor. The roof structure consists of staggered purlins with a ridgepiece, and the nails and marks of laths on the rafters indicate that the upper floor was originally plastered. The walls still have vertical boards, but the grain bins have been removed.

This building is depicted on the 1871 first edition Ordnance Survey map, although it originally had a larger footprint to the south-west, which is no longer present. The granary at Park Farm is a largely intact example of an 18th-century combined open fronted cartshed and granary, contributing to the character of the farmyard group.
