Manor Farm Barns, Facing Main Entrance And Garden Of Manor Farmhouse

Manor Farm Barns are two adjoining barns dating from the mid-17th century. They are constructed of coursed rubble stone on a moulded plinth, with quoins. The west side of both barns features a slate roof, while the lower barn has a corrugated asbestos roof on the east side, and the higher barn has a stone slate roof on its east side. The lower barn to the north has a coped verge with roll moulding and a finial at the north end, along with the same moulded coping along the ridge.

The barns have three stone Tudor archways with chamfered quoins and lintels, and possibly an original inner door frame at the furthest north archway. There is a two-light stone mullion window on the far left, a three-light window approximately in the center, and a single-light window towards the right-hand end. Additionally, there is a window and door with a timber lintel and double doors to the right of center, framed in chamfered stone. The adjoining barn maintains the same unbroken plinth to the end and features two rows of square vents on the front, with a flush cart entry left of center that has a projecting additional lean-to roof. The interiors are not accessible.

These barns are depicted in Kip's engraving of Kempsford Manor from 1700 and were likely built around the same time as the house constructed by the Thynne family in the 1630s.
