Granary Approximately 20 Metres To West Of Ferris Court Farmhouse

The granary, located approximately 20 meters west of Ferris Court Farmhouse, is a building that dates back to the 15th century. Originally a dovecote, it was later converted into a cartshed and granary in the late 18th or early 19th century. The structure is made of coursed rubble limestone and features a corrugated roof. It has a rectangular shape and faces north, with a granary loft above the cartshed. The gabled ends have parapets, and there are two cart doorways at the north end, each with a large timber lintel and a central stone pier. Above these doorways is a plank-shuttered opening with a timber lintel, followed by a 2-light chamfered mullioned window with a hoodmould. At the south end, there is a loft opening with a timber lintel. The east side has a central pointed arched doorway. To the left of this doorway, there are stone granary steps with a projecting nosing leading to a landing, and a loft doorway with a timber lintel. Inside, the building features a 3-bay collar and tie-beam truss roof, likely dating from its conversion to a cartshed and granary. This granary is probably contemporary with the adjoining barn and is associated with the now-disappeared medieval manor house, with its original dovecote function being supported by this historical connection.
