Description
The Barn, located 20 metres south of Batt's Farmhouse, is a barn with origins dating back to the 16th century. It is constructed of local stone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a half hipped plain clay tile roof. The barn consists of five bays, with an extension that is one and a half times longer to the northeast. On the southeast side, there are three offset buttresses between the bays, although the buttress between bays one and two has been removed and replaced with a small window. Slit windows are present in bays one and five, and there is a small doorway in bay three.
On the northwest side, there is a tall central doorway with a flat chamfered timber lintel, flanked by corner buttresses and half-height buttresses on either side of the doorway. The roof structure is supported by double collar trusses. The extension has a catslide roof on the southeast side, featuring plain doors and windows, while the northwest side includes a 20th-century lean-to and a large doorway at first-floor level. The barn is said to have been a tithe barn for Bruton Abbey and later became part of the estate of North Court. Although there is no established traditional connection with an old church, it is noted that church services were held in the barn until the 1940s.
