Abstract: |
The barn at Grange Farm is an unusual structure, in that it is effectively two adjacent barns, constructed at different times, which have been joined together and covered under a single roof. The older of the two barns is a timber-framed three-bay threshing barn which would have originally featured a pair of opposing doors and possibly a timber-framed porch. Grange Farmhouse has a 17th-century date, and a 17th- or early 18th-century date for the barn is plausible. The timber frame sits upon a red brick plinth, and the studwork of the timber framing survives well on the eastern and northern elevations and the northern bay of the western elevation. The original eastern entrance has been supplanted by the early 19th-century extension, and the opposing doorway has been blocked up in recent times and replaced with a pair of steel-framed doors which have removed the studwork on the western elevation of the southern bay. The southern barn is of red brick, with a flint-and-brick southern elevation, and utilised the southern wall of the original barn as its northern end. The barn was extant by 1838, and the use of English bond indicates a likely construction date in the late 18th or early 19th centuries. It seems likely that in the late 19th or early 20th centuries the decision was taken to remove the timber-framed wall which divided the two structures and unify them under a single roof. |
