Abstract: |
The survey building comprised a three bay, clamped brick, barn with a modern tile roof that was empty after a period of recent small-scale industrial use. The survey revealed the Old Barn incorporated the northernmost bay of a timber-framed building that was once part of the Old Barn Cottage located immediately to the south of the survey building. The character of the surviving parts of the roof of this structure suggested a construction date range between 1550 and 1650. Subsequently, in the first half of the 18th century, the Old Barn was constructed as a three-bay threshing barn that incorporated the northernmost bay of the earlier building within its southern end. This barn was constructed in clamped brick and employed wall-as-truss supports for the principal trusses. In the last century the building underwent several alterations and repairs, mainly associated with its last phase of use as a small-scale industrial works, and later as a car-repair workshop.
