Barn About 20 Metres South West Of Old Warren Farmhouse

This barn, located about 20 meters southwest of Old Warren Farmhouse, dates from the mid-18th century and was built by Thomas Wright, who worked for the 4th Duke of Beaufort at Badminton between 1748 and 1756. The structure is made of coursed rubble with stone dressings and quoins, topped with a stone-tiled roof in a Gothick style.

The barn features a central high cart entry with a half-hipped roof, flanked by mock arrow-slits with circular ends and a ventilation slit in the center. The right side has embattled curved corner turrets with blind arrow-slits, a raised central parapet wall with three merlons, and a blind bull's eye at the upper level, along with three cross-slits at ground floor level. There is a single-storey gabled wing attached to the right, which was missing its roof at the time of survey in October 1984. The left side mirrors the right, with an owlhole above an oculus.

At the rear, there is a cart entry with a cambered timber lintel, two blocked ventilation slits to the right, one to the left, and a large 20th-century lean-to addition that lacks special architectural interest. Inside, the barn has a seven-bay roof supported by principal rafters with plated yokes, two rows of purlins, and scissors trusses. The barn holds great picturesque landscape value as part of the designed landscape of the Beaufort estate from the 18th century.
