Abstract: |
The Granary is south of the farmhouse, orientated gable end to the road, with the doors facing west into the farmyard. It is timber-framed. The carpentry indicates that the first phase frame is early 18th century, however the building is not on the tithe map of 1840, suggesting that it wasn't erected on its present site until after then. The original structure was modified during the mid 19th century to create a first floor grain store over the stable. The first phase of the building is a traditional oak frame with the common studs pegged to the wall plate and trenched for slender windbraces. The principal framing members include open truss posts at the centre of the building mortised for arch braces which ran up to a tiebeam that was removed to accommodate the inserted floor. The floor joists are machine-sawn softwood. The south wall has been strengthened with the addition of softwood studs placed between the original uprights. The first floor was accessed by an external wooden staircase, which rose to a landing cantilevered over the cartlodge doors. The loft contains three grain bins at the east end; the walls and ceiling of the grain store are lathed and plastered on which are pencilled inventories of the produce stored in the loft. Granaries of this kind were once commonplace, but most have been stripped of their fixtures and the grain bins are among the best 19th century examples to survive in the region. |
