Barn at Old Vicarage (including attached granary and stores)

Of selected roughly coursed sandstone rubble, whitewashed, comprising a 3-bay barn with a central cartway, the W bay partly timber framed and weatherboarded over a raised stone wall approximately 1.5m high. Full height boarded doors on N; single wide door on S with re-used lintel. Flagged (1986) floor. Reconstructed stone slated roof. Lean-to stores against the E gable, also stone slated, probably at one time serving as pig-sties, with an irregular rectangular cobbled yard surrounded by walls approximately 1.2m high, with an opening at the N end. The yard drains to a central gully. The two-storey bay at the W end is of continuous build with the barn, perhaps contemporary, but the stone slated roof set slightly higher. Boarded door and 2-light window. On the end elevation stone steps give access to the upper floor, now the studio

Two pairs of crucks, one on the W of full height, with low elbow, trenched for a tie beam (missing) and collar, both triple pegged, an outrider carrying the lower of two tiers of purlins, and stub-tie to wall plate. The apex is tenoned and cut off for the half-tree ridge which has a bridled joint. The lap joint for the tie is a notched bare-face dovetail with large centre pivot peg, and two toshed fixing pegs, the cruck couples both erected into the centre bay. The second truss has had similar crucks, but is now cut back by a high-set tie beam. Two-storey bay at W end has an internal stone stack on the dividing wall backing on to the barn.
