Description
Bowsen Cruck Barn is a barn located approximately 450 meters west of the junction with Brown House Lane and Bolsterstone Road. It is probably from the late 17th century and was adapted for educational use around 1980. The barn features internal timber framing, coursed rubble gritstone, and a stone slate roof. It has two cruck bays with an additional half bay at the south-west end. The structure includes some rough quoins and square vent holes in the south-west gable, along with more recent openings. Inside, there are three cruck pairs that are low and well-curved, raised about 2 feet from the floor. The barn has a single purlin and a diagonal set ridge in a crossed apex. Wall ties are present in all but the north-east cruck pair, where halvings remain, and there are some wind-braces.
