Outbuilding Immediately To North East Of Upcott Barton

SHEEPWASH SS 40 NE 7/89 Outbuilding immediately to north- - east of Upcott Barton 4.10.60 GV II Outbuilding possibly former chapel. Early C15 remodelled in C17. Cob and rubble walls. Gable-ended slate roof. Plan: rectangular 1-room plan with no evidence of a fireplace. The roof structure ceiling beams and the 1st floor window date from the C17 suggesting that the building was remodelled then and possibly if it had been a chapel its function changed and it was made into 2 storeys. Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical front with 4-centred hollow chamfered granite medieval doorway to right of centre. Above it is large inserted loading hatch. To the right of that is C17 3-light ovolo-moulded wooden mullion window. In left gable-end is original 2-light wooden mullion winodw with trefoiled heads - the dividing mullion has been removed. Interior: C17 roof trusses with straight principals onto which the collars have been halved with notched lap-joints C17 chamfered ceiling beams (the ist floor has been removed). This is an unusual survival of an early non-domestic building where the suggestion that it was a chapel seems likely.
