Description

Stryd Lydan Barn is a two-part barn connected by a drift-house and covered by a common roof of wheaten straw, which replaced a later slate roof in 1951. The older southern section features three bays supported by three cruck trusses, with a stone gable wall in place of trusses at the southern end. The newer northern section consists of two bays built in a box-frame construction. The panels in this section are filled with woven split oak laths, with twelve panels in the south and eight in the north. Both parts of the barn are five panels wide, and the framing and crucks are visible inside.
