Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
SU 039704. A description with plan and sections of the Great Barn at Cherhill (Wilts), demolished in 1956. The earliest parts of the fabric may have dated from early 14th cent, with some ?16th cent rebuilding and extensive repairs in 1868. The barn would be appropriate to a manor producing for export. The suggested reconstruction has two passage bays and two threshing floors, perhaps for wheat and barley. The eight bays (total length 110ft) had two types of transverse framing: aisled frames with inset posts supporting the main plates running under the ends of the tiebeams, and four "base-cruck" trusses. The aisle posts were unusually massive, up to 16in square, chamfered, with straight lateral braces. The base-cruck blades did not taper at the foot and were 18in square. Posts and cruck-blades rested on chamfered sarsen stylobates. The ?16th cent stud-and-panel side walls formed perhaps the longest run of such walling known in England. Cherhill was perhaps the most westerly of the broad, aisled timber barns whose extensive distribution runs eastwards to Kent and Essex. MB-E | ||||||||
