HALBERTON HALBERTON ST 01 SW 2/193 Barn 23 metres south south-west of - Halberton Court and adjoining No.6 Pond Hill GV II Barn, formerly a dwelling. C17 with later alterations. Random rubble plinth with cob above, some plaster, under corrugated-iron roof, half-hipped to north, and adjoining No. 6 Pond Hill (q.v.) to south; some thatch survives beneath present roofing material. Original plan not known, but the structure is of 2 builds, the division marked by a distinct change in the height of the rubble plinth. Front (ie. facing away from church): one C17 4-light window with ovolo moulded mullions and double-ovolo-surround; and another probably later of 3 lights with chamfered mullions and surround, to first floor; four 3, 4 and 6-light windows to ground floor, all chamfered, and a blocked door. Rear (facing church): two 3-light windows to first floor, 2 of 4 lights below, all with chamfered mullions and surrounds, those to the ground floor rather deeper and perhaps older than those above, ie perhaps C17. Right-hand end largely of brick, with C20 vehicular entrance. Interior with remains of 1 cob cross-wall; 7 principal trusses, 2 of them C19, the others - with collars, the apex pegged, crossed and halved - probably C17. The barn occupies an important position directly east of the parish present church.
