Description

This building is a field barn located approximately 50 meters north of Cooper's Farmhouse. It is likely from the 18th century and was reroofed in 1849. The barn features a timber frame with horizontal lapped board cladding on a brick plinth wall, and there are some flint footings at the east end. It has a slate roof and is designed in a plain long rectangle shape with full height double doors—two pairs facing south and two pairs facing north, all made of planks. The roofline is unbroken with half-hipped ends, and there is a loading opening at the east end. The west end has some corrugated iron.

Inside, the barn has a beaten earth floor and consists of six full bays and two half bays at the ends. It has a tie beam with raking queen struts supporting lightweight two purlins, with trenched and rafters. The trusses are set on heavy jowelled posts resting on a continuous cill. The barn has regular studs that are cross-braced in each bay, and the joints are mainly pegged. While it is a simple barn, it has well-preserved main framing. The barn is no longer part of Cooper's Farm.
