Barn To North West Of Newton Hall

The barn located to the northwest of Newton Hall dates from the mid-17th century and is an aisled structure built from squared rubble with a stone slate roof. It consists of six bays, with the southern end separated by a stone wall to create a stable. The walls are mostly plain, but the south gable end features two ground floor openings: one chamfered doorway, a three-light double chamfered window, and a round-headed 18th-century doorway. The upper level includes two additional chamfered doorways and a three-light and a two-light double chamfered window. The cart entries have chamfered doorways leading to the shippens, which have elliptical heads. The cheeks of the cart entries support two king-post and angle stout trusses, resulting in only two full cross frames, which include jowled posts, arched braces, and aisle ties crossed by passing braces from post to aisle rafter. Inside the stable, there are stop-chamfered beams. This barn is considered the best in the area and is contemporary with Bank Newton Hall, which it faces.
