Barn 20 Metres East Of Childhay Manor Farmhouse

This barn, located 20 metres east of Childhay Manor Farmhouse, dates from the 16th century or possibly later. It features ashlar lias stone walls set on a hard limestone base, with a chamfered plinth. The stone gable copings have moulded apex blocks, and the barn is topped with a slate roof. The gable walls are constructed in fine graduated courses of stone and include chamfered loops in both the east and west gables. There are two sets of through-doors, which have straight-chamfered jambs and carved wooden lintels in a Tudor-arch style. Inside, the roof construction consists of raised jointed crucks with collar beams, three sets of slightly chamfered through-purlins, and a diagonal ridge.
