Description
The store-house and animal-house, located to the southeast of Manor Farmhouse, was built as a cowhouse range in 1706, as indicated by a datestone featuring a stylized foliate design on a pier. The structure is made of coursed limestone rubble and includes square and circular dressed stone piers, topped with a stone slate roof, although the end bay on the right (west) has corrugated asbestos slates. It has a rectangular plan with a long six-bay colonnaded range, featuring a central division and another at the left end. A large moulded opening is present on the west gable end. Inside, the building has a collar-truss roof supported by butt purlins. This cowhouse is an important early example of its type, constructed for Giles Earle, the son of Sir Thomas Earle, who acquired the manor around this time. The cowhouse is part of an exceptionally complete and early farmstead group.
