Barn Approximately 25 Metres South-West Of Whelmstone Barton

This is a double barn and adjoining byre located approximately 25 metres south-west of Whelmstone Barton. It likely dates from the late 16th century to early 17th century, with enlargements made in the late 17th to early 18th century, during which the byre was probably added. The structure features once-plastered cob on rubble footings, with some repairs using stone rubble and concrete blocks, and it has a corrugated iron roof that was formerly thatched.

The barn is a long, gable-ended block facing north-west, away from the farm courtyard, while the lower and narrower byre with a hayloft is at the left (north-eastern) end, facing the farmyard. The barn has two pairs of opposing doors leading to the threshing floors. The doorway to the left of centre has been repaired with stone rubble and concrete block and contains a likely 19th-century doorframe. The larger doorway to the right of centre has also been patched with rubble. There is a loading hatch high in the wall near the left end, and between the doorways is the stub of a massive beam that once extended into a 19th-century roundhouse.

The right end wall has been rebuilt with stone rubble, and the right (south-west) end has been completely reconstructed with 20th-century concrete blocks. The interior is open from the ground to the roof throughout. The left (north-eastern) end is the original barn, which retains a substantially intact late 16th to early 17th-century six-bay roof supported by five oak side-pegged jointed cruck trusses with mortise-tenoned and pegged collars and apexes, carrying three sets of threaded purlins. The right end extension features a late 17th to early 18th-century roof with A-frame trusses and pegged lap-jointed collars. The stubs of the former end wall of the older barn are visible in the side walls below the change in roof types. The added byre includes a ground floor door and an open tallet, both facing south-east into the farmyard.
