Abstract:		 A late-16th century timber-framed barn that originally contained ten bays and extended to an impressive 120 feet in length (36.5 m) with exposed timbers, symmetrical bracing and brick nogging. Similar gentry barns elsewhere were usually aligned at right-angles to the house, facing an enclosed courtyard of service buildings, but this example lies on the same axis as the castle and was apparently designed to extend the width and resulting visual impact of its façade. It remains of vital importance to the castle's historic context and integrity. The barn contained a sophisticated interior with a three-bay stable and hay loft to the west, a three-bay open barn in the centre and a four-bay barn to the east (all entered from the south). It was extensively altered in circa 1860 by Sir Robert Adair of Flixton Hall to form part of an equally sophisticated 'model farm' with uniform red-brick animal sheds and a good cartlodge/granary. This farm complex is of historic interest in its own right. The barn was extended by two bays to the east, its roof and lower walls were entirely rebuilt (re-using timbers from its original roof of wind-braced clasped-purlins with a lower tier of butt-purlins) and the interior was rearranged to contain a larger stable and loft with a five-bay barn and a milling shed. Despite these changes the key elements of the Tudor frame survive intact, including a large number of cranked tie-beam braces and evidence of windows with moulded mullions to the stable and loft.
