Description

Coxes Farm features a field barn and attached stables or animal shelter to the east, dated "WG 1819" (William George). The structure is built of squared rubble stone and has Cotswold stone slate roofs, complete with small ball finials on the saddlestones of all gables. It has opposing projecting cart entries, with a gabled roof to the north and a hipped roof to the south, which includes a datestone, flanked by lean-to sheds. The lean-to on the right of the south cart entry retains the original line of a catslide roof, while the lean-tos on the west of both cart entries have been re-roofed at a lower pitch in corrugated iron. There is no lean-to on the left of the north cart entry. The barn has two storeys of slit vents, and a pitch hole has been created from one upper vent on the west gable. The stout timber draught doors, hinged on vertical pinions with wooden frames, feature a re-used piece of moulding on the north side.

Inside, the barn consists of seven bays with king-post trusses supported by tension screws, two rows of purlins, and stone diaphragm arches leading into the cart entries. The southeast lean-to chamber includes a chamfered stone stair that once led to an upper floor and a stone slab loading landing in the doorway above. A re-used 17th-century moulded beam is present in the south cart entry. This barn is a notable example of a Cotswold barn. To the east, there are lower animal shelters with a curved rubble stone rear wall, a corrugated iron roof, and turned stone piers in front of the bays.
