Description
The range of farm buildings attached to Barton Church Farmhouse dates from the 17th and 18th centuries. Constructed from coursed rubble with some ashlar dressings, the buildings feature a slate roof and are arranged in an L-plan with south and east wings, connected to the farmhouse at the west end of the south wing.
The north elevation of the south wing is two storeys high, with 20th-century small-paned glazing in the ground floor windows. The first floor contains five single-chamfered-mullioned windows with two lights each, and the central window is flanked by pitching holes, with the larger one to the west cutting through a blocked opening. A large segmental-headed entrance is chamfered and features a keystone with enriched stone above, displaying an escutcheon and the initials "E & LH." The entrance at the western end has two panelled pilasters, although the capitals are missing, and a chamfered segmental arch with a small mask at the key. There are also two 20th-century entrances to the east with sliding doors.
The south elevation includes a 20th-century brick outshut. The west elevation of the east wing consists of two buildings; the southern building has five bays with 20th-century windows flanking a segmental-headed entrance that is chamfered and has a keystone inscribed with "T & ED/AUG 22/1/1701." Above this entrance is an oval panel displaying the Dawes arms. Some blocked ventilation slots are present. The angle of this part forms the jamb of an elliptical arched through passage, with the opening chamfered and the arch slightly narrower than the jambs. The northern part has two storeys at the north end, featuring two entrances (one chamfered) and two windows; the first floor has an entrance accessed by steps and a chamfered loading entrance. There is a lean-to outshut to the north of a large segmental-headed entrance with a keystone inscribed "T & ED/AUG 13/1702." The east elevation has ventilation slots, a gable end to the south wing, a 20th-century window, and a large entrance to the north with a segmental head and console-keystone.
