Small Granary To North Of Large Barn At Countess Farm

The small granary located to the north of the large barn at Countess Farm dates from the late 18th century. It is timber framed and weatherboarded, resting on four 3-foot staddles, with additional staddles added later. The granary features a tiled roof that is half hipped, and has a boarded door on the west face leading to a raised platform. There are vents in the gables for ventilation.

Inside, the ground floor is divided by two stop-chamfered cross beams with check and scoop stops, and there are three grain bins in the north bay. The upper floor includes a central truss with queen struts supporting a single purlin and wind braces, while the ceiling is underdrawn in plaster. This granary is part of an important group of late 18th-century farm buildings at Countess Farm.
