Description
Linhay immediately west of Membury Court is a farm building that includes a linhay and wagon shed, dating from around the 15th century on the east side and the 16th or 17th century on the west side, with later alterations.
The building is constructed from rubble stone and flint, featuring dressed stone quoins and a timber roof structure. The floors are made of cobble stone. It is rectangular in plan and oriented on an east-west axis.
The main elevation faces north and features two plank doors with strap hinges at the center. The bays to the right are open, supported by a central post. At the east end, there are stone external steps leading to a loft door, while the west end has a large rising stone buttress. The roof is covered with corrugated iron.
Inside, the building is divided by a cross wall, which is the original west end wall of the medieval linhay, extending up to loft height. To the west, there is a full-height wagon shed, and the remains of a cruck post can be seen in the rear wall. To the east of the stone cross wall, there are three face-pegged cruck posts that are part of the original roof structure, with some evidence suggesting that the upper level was built of cob. The east end features a loft with stalls on the ground floor, two secondary rubble stone partition walls, and a cobble floor. The roof includes a double ridge and four sets of purlins.
