Description

The corn barn at Cors y Gedol Hall dates from the late 17th century and is a long linear structure consisting of 8 bays with wide opposing entrances at the center. It is constructed of mortared rubble masonry with gritstone dressings and features massive boulders at the base of the walls. The roof is slate with stone parapet copings. The wide doorway has a segmental head and jambs with roll moulding. On either side of the doorway are two rows of ventilation slits positioned alternately, and there is a course of doveholes directly beneath the eaves. Above the door, set in a gritstone frame, is a slate tablet displaying a shield in the form of a cross saltire, the emblem of the Vaughans. The tablet is inscribed with the initials G V and the date 1685, and the shield is topped with a helm featuring a demi lion and the motto: IMACULATA GENS.

There is an additional doorway cut into the south end of the east gable of the barn, along with three ventilation slits arranged in the gable apex. The rear doorway has been widened, and the lintel raised, now supported by a rolled steel joist at the head.

Inside, the corn barn features an exposed roof with 8 bays, each defined by tie beams with angled struts. The tie beams at the east end have been removed, and the tie has been raised to form a collar, likely as a result of the widening of the doorway in the south wall. The inner north doorway has a flat head made of rough stone voussoirs.
