Description
This is an 18th-century threshing barn located approximately 50 yards west of Membury Court, which was extended in the 19th century.
The barn is built from rubble stone with limestone quoins and dressings, and features a timber roof structure. It is oriented on a north-south axis and consists of five bays. At the north end, there is an enclosed, lofted single-bay section that was once used as a granary. The main barn includes opposing threshing doors and a full-size cart doorway.
In the west wall, on either side of the rear threshing door, there are posts from two side-pegged jointed cruck trusses. One of these posts has a mortise for a screen wall. The threshing floor remains intact. The roof, which is half-hipped and from the 20th century, features tie beam trusses and king ties, with bolted lap-jointed collars and three sets of trenched purlins.
Inside, the north end is divided by a stone rubble wall up to loft height and has a boarded loft wall with a door at first-floor level. The loft contains timber corn bins, and the roof is covered with corrugated iron.
