SU 17 SE OGBOURNE ST GEORGE SOUTHEND 7/108 Barn at Hallam Farm buildings I Barn. C14-C15. Timber framed and weatherboarded on brick sill walls, the weatherboarding replacing wattle and daub. Thatched roof. Six bays, with C20 lean-to at west end. Cart doors in third bay from west, on north side, and narrow low door opposite, now replaced. Four complete cruck couples, with arch braced collars and stub ties carrying outer rafters partly trenched for the lower of 2 purlins. Three couples have Type C apex saddles notched for diagonally set ridge tree, the centre couple having a type F1 apex with king post. Trusses scratch numbered from east. Purlins have curved windbraces. The fifth truss is a standard tie-beam and collar truss with jowled posts and curved braces to the tie, but is coeval with the crucks. Truss 1 probably had a full tie-beam, replaced with a later timber. Original rafters have the thatch tied on. External walls of 2 panels high, studded in lower panel and tension braces above and include one original door jamb. The whole structure is practically complete, included the groundsills, and thus is of outstanding merit.
