Description
This is a barn and attached hay barn located approximately 5 meters northeast of Pyefield House. The barn is dated 1828, while the hay barn may be older. It was built for William Skaife and is constructed from coursed squared gritstone with a graduated stone slate roof. The barn consists of three bays, with an additional bay extension to the east, and the hay barn also has three bays, positioned parallel to and behind the barn.
On the south side facing the yard, the barn features central double doors with splayed voussoirs and a keystone inscribed with 'WS 1828'. There are flanking byre doors, one on the left with tie-stone jambs and the other on the right with quoined jambs. The structure includes shaped kneelers and gable coping. An additional bay to the right has a cart entrance with splayed voussoirs and a small-paned side-sliding sash window above it. There is a range projecting at right angles that is not of special interest.
At the rear, there is an outshut behind the first two bays and a doorway opposite the cart entrance. The hay barn is built into the southeast corner of the barn's rear outshut, with solid end walls. The east wall has a later or enlarged cart entrance, and there are two pairs of rubble-built tapering pillars between the end walls, along with shaped kneelers and gable coping.
Inside, the barn has four queen-post trusses, while the hay barn has two queen-post trusses. The hay barn is of the Dutch barn type but features a fixed roof, which was being adopted by farmers in the early 19th century throughout the country, although few have survived from this period.
