Description

This is an L-plan barn from the 18th century, featuring three bays and a later two-bay open-fronted shed at the west end, all under a single iron roof. The barn has high walls made of neatly coursed rubble blocks, with square panel timber-framed upper walls that include jowelled wall posts and long raking braces extending from the posts to the sole plate in front of the panels. There are no stave holes, and a few weatherboards remain on the rear elevations, while the rest is covered with iron sheeting. The end trusses have stud infill, and there are two trusses on either side of the threshing bay with paired raking braces. The roof features three tiers of purlins and roof braces running in front of the rafters, and there are opposing eaves-height double doors.

The open-fronted shed has a rubble stone gable end wall and an iron-sheeted front leading to a loft.

At the rear, there is a late 18th or early 19th-century two-storey rubble stone range that connects to the back of the shed via a covered passage. Steps from the passage lead to the upper storey, which also provides access to fowl houses and pigcots located under a catslide roof. The original purpose of this range is unclear; it is known as the brew house and was later used as a forge, featuring large bellows brought from the smithy in Newchurch. Inside, there is a large open fireplace with a voussoir lintel and a high hearth, along with unusual roof trusses that may be re-used crucks.
