Former threshing barn at Crookhorn Farm

Threshing barn, dating to around the mid-C17 to early C18.

MATERIAL: timber-framed structure with weatherboarding, and corrugated metal-clad hipped roof.

PLAN: rectangular footprint on a north to south alignment.

EXTERIOR: on the east and west elevations are central large double-door openings. There are also additional entrance doors and hatches around the building. The building is topped by a tipped corrugated-metal roof.

INTERIOR: the barn has five bays which are defined by pairs of posts with jowled and flush profiles at the top. Braces spring from the posts to support tie beams. Above are raked queen-post struts that support a pair of clasped purlins. Some of the rafters are relatively recent replacements, and the roof has been reinforced with later passing braces and additional purlins. The wall-frame retains studs, wall plates and mid rails. Some of the pegged timbers have been reinforced with iron brackets. Some of the timbers have been replaced and there is also evidence of reused timbers.
