Description
Tump Barn is a castellated barn built around 1750, likely designed by Thomas Wright as a decorative "folly" barn to enhance the view from Worcester Lodge. The structure is made of random coursed rubble stone with alternating flush quoins and features straight embattled parapets on the raised south walls, which have opposed cart entries and a south gable end. The main barn has a stone slate roof, while the lean-to on the east side has a corrugated asbestos roof, and the steep lean-to on the left side has a double Roman tile roof.
There are opposed entries, with the western entry hipped and the eastern entry being two-storey and half-hipped, both lacking doors. The barn comprises six or seven bays, although the entire length of the interior was not visible during the survey in March 1986. Inside, there are queen post trusses, and each entry has a lean-to; the west side features a three-bay open animal shelter, while the east side has a closed-in shelter. The barn also includes slit vents and small square vents, some of which are blocked.
