Old Smithy

The Old Smithy is a disused smithy that has been converted into an agricultural store. It likely dates from the late 18th century to the early to mid-19th century. The building is constructed of rubble with pantile and corrugated sheet roofs and is single storey with a T-shaped plan. The older part of the smithy is located to the right, with a later addition built at right angles. The older section features leaved board doors on the left and a board stable door on the right, while the right half of the roof is covered with corrugated sheets. The later section has an external chimney stack on the gable, which has been truncated. On the left return, there are quoins and two window openings, with leaved board doors situated below a deep timber lintel made from reused beams, and a chimney to the left. Inside, the older smithy shows a scar of a smoke-hood on the left, with a corbelled stone stack at ridge level. The later range includes a deep hearth with a curved oak lintel on the left gable, along with 20th-century bellows and two king-post roof trusses.
