Description
This is a barn built around 1760 for Robert Conyers Darcy, Earl of Holderness, of Hornby Castle. It is located approximately 5 metres to the south-west of Arbour Hill House. The barn is constructed from coursed rubble sandstone with ashlar dressings and features a pantile roof with stone slates at the eaves. It has two storeys and five ground-floor bays, with quoins at the corners.
The barn has a blocked central doorway with an ashlar surround and a keyed extended lintel. There are also blocked doorways in the first and fifth bays, with the left one featuring an ashlar lintel. A wide 20th-century opening exists below a timber lintel in the second bay. In the fourth bay, there are two small windows with stone surrounds, one of which is blocked.
On the first floor, there is a band that was formerly interrupted by circular pitching eyes with ashlar surrounds in the second and fourth bays; the second bay now has a blocked 20th-century opening. The first floor has small openings with stone surrounds, three at each end, some of which are blocked, and one has vertical slab louvres. The eaves band is present as well.
At the rear, there is a blocked large central doorway with a depressed segmental arch breaking through the first-floor band. There is a blocked opening to the left that replaces a pitching eye, and a pitching eye interrupting the band to the right. The left return features a pitching eye interrupting the band, along with two small openings with stone surrounds on each floor. The right return also has a pitching eye interrupting the band. This barn is part of a formal arrangement with the house and the barn located to the south-east of the house.
