Barn And Stable Adjoining To East Of Hayne Farmhouse

Barn and stable, parts likely dating to the 16th or early 17th century, with substantial rebuilding in the 19th century, probably 1809, and further refurbishment and barn extension in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The structure is primarily constructed from local stone rubble, with some plastering, and original cob foundations at the rear of the barn; the roof is covered in corrugated iron (formerly thatch). The barn and stable share a continuous roof facing south, and the stable adjoins the east end of Hayne Farmhouse. A larger barn extends to the right (east) end, featuring full-height opposing doors leading to a threshing floor. The front elevation presents an irregular arrangement of openings. The stable, at the left end, contains a 19th-century doorway, a contemporary unglazed window, and a hayloft loading hatch. The barn doorway is flanked by short projecting midstrey walls, with the roof projecting as a small hood, situated towards the left end of the barn. The double doors are likely from 1809 and feature interesting 19th-century graffiti depicting various plough types. An unglazed 19th-century window is positioned to the left of the doorway, followed by a secondary doorway, two small windows, and a first-floor loading bay to the right. The roof is half-hipped at the right end. The stable's interior has a floor made of reused 17th-century soffit-chamfered and scroll-stopped crossbeams. The wooden manger is probably from 1809, while the roof is a late 19th-century design, employing A-frame trusses with nailed lap-jointed collars. The barn floor incorporates a central drain leading to a hole in the end wall. The roof contains a single 16th or early 17th-century side-pegged jointed cruck, with mortises for through purlins. The front post of this cruck has been cut off, but the rear post remains in the cob. The remaining roof structure comprises various A-frame trusses. Several timbers appear ancient and reused, potentially deriving from the pre-mid 17th century Hayne Farmhouse. However, the buildings underwent significant alteration during the general refurbishment of the property in 1809, undertaken by George Snell. The barn and stable contribute to an attractive group with Hayne Farmhouse and the other barn on the farmstead.
