Large Barn, Stable And Further Barn Range Approximately 50 Yards East North East Of Glory Hill Farmhouse

Two barns, divided by a stable, are located approximately 50 yards east-northeast of Glory Hill Farmhouse. These buildings likely date to the 18th and 19th centuries, incorporating earlier components, including jowled posts from the 16th and 17th centuries in the large barn, except for the western four bays of the west range, which are probably 17th century. The structures are timber-framed and weather-boarded, with some red brick; they have plain tiled roofs.

The large barn, situated to the east, is timber-framed and weather-boarded, with red brick rebuilding of walls to the south outshuts. A gabled mid-storey features doubled boarded doors to the south, flanked by a projecting outshut to the west with a central stable door flanked by single casement windows. The north side has doubled boarded doors in the centre and a casement window to the right. A lean-to extension is present at the east end.

The stable and barn range to the west are timber-framed and weather-boarded to the south, with brick cladding to the north, and have plain tiled roofs. This lower range steps down a shallow slope and projects to the west of the large barn, with a north wing towards the west end of the range. The ridge of this wing is just visible from the south over the main ridge of the range. The south front has doubled boarded doors towards the left, a single casement to the right, and a lean-to stable further to the right, with a stable door and a casement. A shallow-pitched brick wing projects to the south at the extreme left end of the wing. The north front of the range features various openings and a corrugated-iron roofed lean-to in the angle with the north extension.

Inside the large barn, the wall-framing is mostly complete with a mid-rail, long studs, and straight braces. There’s a mixture of jowled post types, some from the 16th or 17th centuries. Machine-sawn trusses have queen-post ties. The roof, incorporating through-purlins, is mostly rebuilt. The western eight bays have a north wall replaced in brick in Flemish bond. Wall-framing to the south is mostly complete with a mid-rail, long studs, and straight braces. The four bays to the west show earlier features, including gunstock jowled posts and trusses with raking queen struts, likely from the 17th century. The roof throughout has through-purlins.
