Turks Yard

Turk's Yard is a Grade II listed building located on the west side of Barnsley Village along the A433. This structure, dating from the mid to late 18th century, consists of two former animal shelters and a small barn that have been converted into a dwelling and workshops. The building is constructed of rubble stone with a stone slate roof, except for a small lean-to on the east side which has a concrete tile roof.

The layout is L-shaped, with a small barn situated in the north-west angle and the building being single storey with partial attics. The south-facing rear wall of the animal shelter on the north side features an inserted doorway with quoins and three windows, all dating from the 1980s, along with two gabled dormers. All windows are wooden casements. The north-facing wall originally had five bays separated by dressed stone piers; however, two of these piers have been replaced by concrete blocks, and all bays have been filled in with wooden panelling and windows. There are also two gabled dormers on this side.

The animal shelter at the south end originally consisted of five bays with dressed stone piers, but it has since been filled in with panelling and windows and is now used as workshops. There is a link wall and roof connecting this shelter to the small two-bay barn, which is made of rubble stone and has a restored roof. The south end wall of the shelter features an inserted 19th-century glazed single lancet window with a moulded stone arch. Turk's Yard was originally part of a farm complex that included Tallett Steps, Aubrey's Barn, and another barn to the north, all of which are now separate.
