Barn About 80 Metres East Of Painswick Lodge

This large barn, built in 1780 for Thomas Tunley, is located about 80 metres east of Painswick Lodge. It features well-cut squared limestone and a stone slate roof. There are deep porches on the west and east sides; the west porch has three rows of pigeon openings with perches, topped by a hipped stone slate canopy supported by wooden brackets, which covers a full-height pair of plank doors. To the left of the porch are two long, low-set ventilation slits, and to the right is an early plank door. The north gable has a square loading opening above a ventilation slit. Each side of the barn has a deep gabled porch with a good pair of doors, and there are two buttresses with three offsets on each side. Inside, the barn has a nine-bay structure with double purlins, and four of the bays have strutted tie beams. The gables are coped and feature cross-roll saddles. This barn is part of a notable group of farm buildings associated with Painswick Lodge.
