Barn Approximately 80 Metres South of Woolwich Farmhouse

This is a barn and byre range located approximately 80 metres south of Woolwich Farmhouse, dated 1784. It is constructed from coursed squared gritstone and features a corrugated asbestos roof. The building is tall and consists of four bays, with quoins at the corners. The cart entrance is in bay three, which is set back in an internal porch and has a segmental arch with a keystone inscribed with 'Built / by / WR / 1784'. To the right, there is a byre door with quoined jambs. The walls are pierced by three rows of round-headed slit vents, each with a single block lintel. The barn has bulbous kneelers and gable copings. There is a rear lean-to addition that is not of special interest. On the left return, the byre door mirrors the one on the front. The roof structure was destroyed by fire around 1970, but the barn remains an unusual and striking example of a larger dated barn, possibly incorporating 17th-century masonry elements such as the bulbous kneelers and round-arched vents.
