Abstract:
The farmhouse is an unlisted 18th and 19th century structure, forming the northern side of a courtyard with a 16th century timber-framed barn of five bays to the west. At the time of the 1846 tithe survey the farm was a tenanted holding of 32.75 acres. The barn is typical of the latter 16th century (1580-1610 is likely), with edge-halved and bridled scarf joints in the roof-plates, internally trenched and cranked wall braces, jowled storey posts and arch-braced tie-beams. Its walls survive largely intact, together with a visually impressive series of arch-braced tie-beams, but the roof is mid-20th century. The interior originally had an internal partition which separated the northern bay from the rest. The four southern bays formed a threshing barn with an east-facing entrance, but the northern bay was a tall gateway. The resulting thoroughfare allowed vehicles to pass between the barn and a missing structure to the north. Pegged studs were inserted into both entrances during the 17th century and it's likely that the original arrangement was short lived. Early maps demonstrate that many modest Tudor farmsteads possessed fully or partly enclosed courtyards entered by gateways, but physical evidence is exceptionally rare. It sheds important light on the sophisticated nature of farm courtyards in England during the late medieval and Tudor periods and in my view merits listing at grade II. The adjoining 19th century clay-lump sheds have been much altered, but are of some historic interest insofar as they illustrate a typical Victorian development.
