Barn About 20 Metres West Of Kingstone Farmhouse

This is a barn located about 20 metres west of Kingstone Farmhouse, built before 1600 and later modified. It is constructed from ham stone that is cut and squared, with some ashlar, and features a double Roman clay tiled roof between coped gables with finials. The barn has nine bays, and the south gable includes angled corner buttresses, with additional buttresses on the east wall. These elements suggest it may have been a medieval tithe barn, featuring vent slits and a now-blocked chamfered pointed arched doorway. The three southern trusses are heavy collar trusses with a mortice-and-tenon apex joint and three rows of heavy trenched purlins of irregular spacing, along with windbraces in the lower panel. Two trusses further north are jointed crucks, while the remaining trusses are comparatively late. Attached to the east of the barn is a ruinous building with a thatched half-hipped roof, which has at least one jointed cruck that may date to around 1600. The barn predates the farmhouse and appears to have been modified around 1600, coinciding with the construction of the present farmhouse.
