Abstract:		 Lower Rixdale Barn is Grade II Listed; acknowledged as of architectural and historical importance. Its Listing text is limited in its scope however and notes the barn as having six jointed-cruck trusses, when the barn is in fact of six bays and would appear to have only ever had five historic trusses. It is also to be noted that the barn is recorded as being Listed, 'for group value', which it is felt poorly reflects the actual value of this building; particularly with the presence of a jointed-cruck roof, which is part of a rapidly diminishing and rare group of medieval farm buildings. The building likely dates from the later 15th or 16th century and contains a later phase of trusses likely of later 16th or 17th century date, designed to mimic the earlier medieval trusses, another interesting historic detail and indicative of a phase of extension. As one of only two surviving traditional farm building on the entire holding, (the other being the shippon attached to the upper part of the farmhouse), it is felt the value of the barn within the group rises exponentially on the farm. Although it is the roof which holds primary value, the building is built of traditional local vernacular materials and is visually dominant within the farmyard views and from the road. It frames the Grade II* and Grade II elements of the farmhouse in all views. The conversion of this building will ensure its long-term survival, as a lack of maintenance in the last decades of the 20th century and poor-quality modern repairs and additions have led to significant risk to its historic integrity and structural cohesion.
