Description
Two Barns, located 120 metres north-west of Wyke House, date back to the 16th century and are built in a continuous range. They feature rubble-stone walls that are snecked and coursed, topped with stone slate roofs and stone gable copings. Each bay has buttresses with two weatherings. The south-east barn consists of 11 bays plus one additional end bay beyond an internal masonry wall. It has two square porches with pitched roofs and weatherboarding, along with two-leaf plank doors and surviving loops on the east elevation. The west side has through-entrances without porches. The north-west barn also has two opposed square porches with pitched roofs, and a solid wall divides it from the south-east barn. In the last bay before this wall, there is a through-passage accessed via a doorway featuring a heavy, chamfered door-frame with a cambered head, dating to the 16th or 17th century. There are four entrances on the west side and two on the east side, as detailed in the RCHM plan.
Inside, the roof construction includes mid-crucks, some jointed and some whole, with collar-beams and large arch braces. There are three sets of through-purlins and two sets of wind-bracing. Much of the construction in the lower barn has been renewed or reinforced in the 19th and 20th centuries.
