Description

The barn at Woolbridge Manor, marked as "Chapel Barn" on the Ordnance Survey map, is a detached structure likely dating from the 16th century. Its walls are primarily made of rubble stone, with some parts rebuilt in brick. The barn features a tiled roof with stone eaves courses and a coped gable at the south end. It is a single-storey building. The east elevation has a large 20th-century door opening, above which is a cinquefoiled stone window without tracery. There are three buttresses at the base of the wall, and the north gable wall displays some herringbone stonework. The roof is of arch-braced collar beam construction, with purlins and common rafters that have been renewed. A stone rubble wall, raised in brick, connects this barn to the garden wall of the Manor. The building is also designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
