Abstract: |
During October 2011, an historic building recording of a timber framed barn was undertaken at Trutons, Ongar Road, Great Dunmow, Essex, prior to the conversion of the barn for residential purposes. The barn stands within the curtilage of a Grade II Listed Building. The survey recorded the presence of architectural features dating to the early 17th century, such as counter bladed scarf joints, and primary bracing. There are also several instances of graffiti within the barn, at least one of which appears to date to 1613. There is also evidence for a former partition within the building, in the form of empty mortice holes at mid rail height within Truss 2. The cartographic evidence shows that there has been a barn at Trutons since at least 1777, although the first available map to show the site at a large enough scale to make out details dates to 1875. These maps show that the barn has expanded and contracted over time, probably to reflect change in use. Surviving documentation from the sale of Trutons and it's land at the end of the 19th century describes the barn as a 'large double barn', supporting the assumption made above that the barn was subdivided internally. |
