The Bishop'S Barn

The Bishop's Barn is a 15th-century barn that has been converted into an assembly hall. It is constructed from local stone that is roughly squared, with dressings made of Doulting ashlar, and features a Westmorland slate roof set between coped gables and a shaped stone ridge. The eaves have a corbelled course.

The exterior is single-storey with 13 bays, where the central threshing bay on each side is wider and includes projecting gabled porches. There are almost full-height buttresses with two offsets at the corners and between the bays, as well as added buttresses at the centers of the end gable walls, which have three offsets. Each bay contains a thin slit window with transoms, and similar windows are set high in the gables, with a central square window above each central buttress. The square window on the east side features quatrefoil tracery, and there is a later door inserted in the southeast corner. The porches have elliptical double-chamfer arches with labels and boarded doors. The north gables include a moulded recess with a quatrefoil vent in the upper half, while the south gable has only a slim window above the door. In bay 2 on the south side, there is a small section of a window, along with the jamb of a former door or window above.

Inside, the roof is supported by double-collar trusses that have stop-chamfered tie beams and one tier of curved windbraces in each bay, along with two tiers of tenoned and chamfered purlins.
