Barn At Sevington Farm

The barn at Sevington Farm dates from around 1840 to 1850 and may be a remodelling of an 18th-century barn. It is constructed from rubble stone with flush quoins and features a half-hipped stone slate roof that slopes down on the east side over stalls beside a gabled cart entry. The west side has a plain entry with boarded upper loading doors on either side. There are regularly spaced vent loops, and the south gable includes five tiers of dove holes arranged in a triangular pattern. Inside, the barn has a tall interior with a seven-bay triple purlin roof supported by king-post and angle-strut trusses. There is a cambered-arched opening leading into the east cart entry. This barn displays characteristics typical of the Neeld estate barns, although other barns in the area have squared rubble stone walling.
