Abstract:
Green Farm lies at the corner of Church Green and Wickham Road. The two 'barns' in the south-western corner of the enclosed yard in front of the house are separately listed at grade II. The southernmost of these is an early-17th century timber-framed barn of five bays. It was originally entered from the green on the west but now has a 19th century eastern porch. Its framing is high quality, with mid-rails in its walls and a well preserved roof containing two tiers of butt-purlins and an almost full complement of wind-braces. The roof was formerly thatched, and its external walls were rendered from the outset. The adjoining 18th century timber-framed 'barn' of four bays is much altered. This building originally contained three-bays with an upper storey as well as a single-bay section, and was almost certainly a stable with a hay loft and tack room. Its walls were heavily altered in the 20th century, but its original double butt-purlin roof structure remains. At some point the original ceiling was removed and a new, higher ceiling inserted. A schoolroom was formerly attached to the barn, and the new room may have been intended for this purpose. Two additional outbuildings to the south and east were designed as open-sided animal shelters but incorporate parts of an older boundary wall of shuttered or rammed earth that may be contemporary with the house. This earthen wall is a rare survival which offers important insight into gentry farmsteads in the 17th century.
