Description

This is a shelter shed located 20 metres north of the Church of St Mary, likely built in the 18th century. It features a half hipped pantile roof and is constructed from Sampford Brett red sandstone random rubble, with rendered stone piers and some weatherboarded infill. The shed is one storey high and consists of six bays, with circular piers and some weatherboarding that forms a stable door. It is listed mainly for its group value with the church.
