Barn At Westwood Manor

The barn at Westwood Manor is a 15th-century structure that had its roof renewed around 1912. It is built from random rubble stone and features a stone slate roof with coped verges and saddlestones. The barn has nine bays and includes a central gabled porch on the west side, which has been restored to feature a chamfered segmental-headed doorway with double planked doors, as well as an original Medieval pointed doorway on the north side. The rear of the barn has a short hipped porch with double planked doors, shuttered loading bays on either side, and buttresses with offsets and slit vents. The south gable end includes a central buttress with offsets and diagonal buttresses, along with three arrowloops, while the north gable end has one large arrowloop. Inside, there is a stone threshing floor and niches in the porch walls, likely used for holding horns of grease for flails. The early 20th-century roof consists of collar and tie-beam trusses with lower angle struts and three tiers of purlins. This barn is a property of the National Trust.
