Description
The Tithe Barn is a former cowhouse, dating from the mid-to-late 16th century. It has been converted into a house and two barns, one of which is now used as a meeting hall. The house and barns form an 'L'-shaped plan. The house is built of coursed squared and dressed limestone, with a stone slate roof and an artificial stone stack. The west end of the principal barn has been rebuilt using ashlar.
The house is two storeys and an attic, with 20th-century skylights for lighting. It has one original two-light, hollow-chamfered stone mullioned casement window to the first floor. The front wall was substantially rebuilt during the 20th-century conversion. A single light with a stilted-headed surround is visible towards the apex of the right-hand gable end. The remaining windows are 20th-century stone mullioned casements, some with one, two, or four lights, and without glazing bars. The facade has a pair of 20th-century plank doors within four-centred arched doorways with impost blocks, along with a similar glazed door. A continuous dripmould runs between the ground and first floors.
The tithe barn has double doors to a projecting porch. It features clamp buttresses with double offsets and double doors opposite the porch on the north wall. The rebuilt gable end has diagonal buttresses with double offsets and blocked pigeon holes. A converted barn, located uphill from the tithe barn, has a two-light hollow-chamfered stone-mullioned window. It also includes a 20th-century doorway with a wooden lintel and two plate glass patio doors on the north wall. The house has a saddleback gable-end coping that formerly held a finial, while its roof is hipped where it joins the converted barn. The tithe barn has a flat gable-end coping with roll-cross saddles.
The interior of the house was not inspected. The main tithe barn has five bays and a roof with curved principals, double trenched purlins, two collar beams, and a yoke at the ridge. The converted barn has four bays with roof trusses consisting of collar and tie beams, some through and others trenched.
