Description
The barn at Manor House is a very large structure dated 1753, featuring the initials "MW" on the quoins inside the north-east cart entry and "WW" on a beam above to the right. It is built from coursed and squared dressed stone with alternating flush quoins and has a stone slate roof. The barn has two large opposed projecting gabled cart entries on both sides, each with slightly cambered timber lintels and stone arches on the inside at the wall plane. Inside, there are collar and tie-beam trusses, with five bays to the east of the partition wall and seven bays to the west. The barn includes scattered square vents and doorways on the east-facing returns on the north side. There is a 20th-century corrugated-iron lean-to between the cart entries on the north side, a stone lean-to with square openings and a corrugated roof between the entries on the south side, and an east-side projection at the south-east corner that serves as a partial slate-roofed shed.
