Barn On North Side Of Yard At Rapkyns Farm

The barn, likely dating from the early 18th century or earlier, is located on the north side of the yard at Rapkyns Farm. It is a timber-framed structure built upon a stone dwarf wall, with weatherboard cladding and a plain tile roof. The barn comprises three bays. On the north side is a central cart entrance with a double door, while the south side (facing the yard) features a pair of board winnowing doors. The interior retains a complete timber frame of substantial timbers, including a cill and wall plates. The framing consists of curved and straight braces connecting wall posts to a mid rail and tie-beams, with intermediate studs. A queen strut roof is supported by trusses and rafters. Attached farm buildings are not of special architectural or historical interest.
