High House Cruck Barn

High House Cruck Barn is a farm outbuilding dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with minor alterations made in the 20th century. It is constructed from rubble Lakeland stone, laid in courses, with massive roughly hewn quoins and plain eaves beneath a Westmorland slate roof that is laid to diminishing courses. The barn has a three-bay plan and is set into rising ground, with the southwest gable facing the road.

At the east end of the northwest elevation, there are full-height boarded double doors. The barn features two tiers of slit breathers and a single overloft taking-in door located to the southwest of the doorway. The southwest gable has five slit breathers, while the southeast elevation has a blocked central single doorway beneath a plain timber lintel, flanked by single breathers.

Inside, there are two full cruck trusses with tie, collar, and yoke beams that support a double purlin roof structure, featuring curved wind braces between the cruck blades and upper purlins, as well as a diagonally-set ridge purlin.
