Description
Four cattle shelter sheds with open yards and an adjoining granary with a cart shed are located immediately east of the Tithe Barn. These structures were built around 1850, possibly by Benjamin Bucknall for William Leigh. They are constructed from random rubble limestone and feature a clay pantile roof. The four shelter sheds are arranged in pairs, facing southeast, with yards situated between them. A five-bay cart shed is attached to one of the yards on the northeast side. The 20th-century concrete block yard walls and steel-framed covered yards are not considered of special interest. Each block has parapet gabled ends and off-centre shouldered arched doorways leading to a dividing passage. The westernmost sheds have a five-bay arcade, while the others have a four-bay design, all featuring chamfered segmental pointed arches. The granary has buttressed gable ends and a loft doorway at the southeast end, which is accessed by stone steps, with a quatrefoil vent positioned above. This grouping of 19th-century farm buildings is a good example and complements the adjacent Tithe Barn.
