Abstract: |
The timber-framed barn lies near the boundary between the parishes of Stonham Aspal and Winston. It originally belonged to the adjacent farmhouse: a grade II-listed property of the late-16th to17th century. Both the barn and house are substantial buildings of some quality. The barn is a three-bay structure of the 15th to16th century. It contains evidence of a central entrance facing the yard adjacent to the house in the typical manner of the period, and originally possessed massive arch-braces to its tie-beams and an unusual pattern of internal wall braces. The northern end of the building consists of a stable that was added to the threshing barn during the 17th century and may be contemporary with the present farmhouse. This stable contained a hay loft lit by a window and an entrance in the centre of its gable. Despite their early origin and considerable historic interest these two timber-frames are now somewhat fragmentary and probably fail to meet the English Heritage criteria for listing. While the barn's front (western) elevation remains largely intact its rear wall and roof are heavily altered. The stable is more complete, but its loft and the studs of its rear wall were apparently removed in recent years when a new vehicle entrance was inserted. The interiors of both the barn and stable now form a single large space with only a fragment of the former internal partition remaining at roof level. |
