Abstract: |
Barningham Park comprises a two barn complex; each consists of a threshing barn with attached animal yards and sheds. The southern barn is listed at grade II and dated in the Schedule to the early-18th century but is in fact an impressive six-bay 'Napoleonic barn' of circa 1800 with two threshing floors that was built to serve the new arable farm. The barn survives largely intact with a full complement of tie-beam braces and a butt-purlin roof. The external walls retain their distinctive 'two-tier' original cladding of render above weatherboarding. A series of cattle yards and sheds was added to both elevations in the mid-19th century when mixed animal husbandry replaced intensive cereal production. The northern barn was built in a single phase in circa 1850 and represents an elegant and unusually complete High Victorian yard complex of flint with glazed pantiles. It consists of a three-bay timber-framed threshing barn adjoining a yard enclosed by single-storied flint ranges to east and west. The western range contained stabling and the eastern range was probably designed as an open shelter but was enclosed in the late-19th century to form a pair of cow-sheds which retain good floors and boarded cattle stalls. The roof of the barn contains staggered butt-purlins with straight braces to its tie-beams in a manner more usually associated with the early-19th century but the building is not shown on the tithe map of 1839. It retains a brick threshing floor and a series of apotropaic marks on the internal plaster. |
