Description
The Cruck Barn located to the rear of Drebley Cottage dates from the 16th century and has undergone later alterations. It features a timber frame encased in rubble shore walling and is topped with a corrugated iron roof. The barn is tall and single-storey, with an inserted floor in the left-hand bay and consists of three bays. The main elevation includes a projecting cart entrance on the right and a stable door on the left, which is flanked by inserted 19th-century windows. The rear elevation has two blocked rubble vents and the roof is steeply pitched.
Inside, the barn boasts three massive full-height open cruck trusses, which include a large ridge purlin and double staggered tenoned purlins. Two of the trusses feature collar yokes, while the third has a later repair. Each truss has pairs of cruck spurs, although only the lower spurs remain intact. The cart entrance has a paved floor, and the central truss includes an inserted half-height wall within the blades.
