Description
This is a barn attached to the south of Rose Cottage, dating from around the 18th century. It features plastered cob walls and a gable-ended roof that has been re-clad in corrugated iron sheets. The barn has a rectangular shape with central cart entrances at both the front and rear.
The east front, which faces the road, has a central cart entrance flanked by cob piers that are corbelled at the top, originally intended for a canopy. However, this entrance has been infilled with concrete blocks and corrugated iron sheets. The rear, or west side, shows exposed cob on the right, with a widened cart entrance in the center and a wall on the right that has been rebuilt using corrugated iron and concrete blocks. The south end gable has also been reconstructed in corrugated iron.
Inside, the barn has a five-bay roof supported by four collar-trusses, which feature halved, lapped, and pegged collars attached to straight principals resting on the wall plates. The purlins have been replaced, and some common rafters are missing. In the north end gable, there are two wooden-framed ventilation slits, which may have served the lower end of the adjoining Rose Cottage.
This barn is a good example of an 18th-century cob barn within a village farmstead.
