Abstract: |
The barn is a mid-18th century timber-framed structure in four bays which originally contained a three-bay open barn with a central threshing floor and a rear (northern) aisle, with a single-bay stable to the east. A photograph of circa 1950 shows a thatched and weatherboarded building of traditional appearance, but soon afterwards the roof structure was replaced, the entrance blocked and the exterior was rendered in cement (bearing the dates 1951 and 1952). At the same time the eastern gable was rebuilt in brick to contain vehicle doors, but the internal partition had already been removed as part of a major mid-19th century refurbishment which included the insertion of bolted knee-braces to replace the original arch-braces and the rebuilding of the rear wall in brick. The original studwork with diagonal primary-bracing now survives only to the south and west, and of the original 10 arcade-plate and tie-beam braces (all pegged and tenoned in the medieval tradition) only a single arcade-brace now remains. |
