Abstract: |
A level 2 historic building recording was carried out by CFA Archaeology Ltd on a timber-framed barn next to Gun Lane, Sherington, Milton Keynes. The work was undertaken on the 3rd of September 2015 in advance of the barn being converted to a house by Bernard Soul. The barn is located in the south-east corner of a field known as 'The Shoulder of Mutton Field' which lies 450m north of the centre of Sherington. The barn is constructed largely from re-used hewn and pit-sawn adze-trimmed pine with structural elements clearly taken from earlier timber-framed buildings probably dating to the late 18th century. The main frame is largely mortised together and strengthened with nails. The roof rafters are pine poles that are nailed to purlins and a pine ridgepole. The barn is roofed in corrugated iron but originally it was thatched and some of the laths relating to this original roof survive. The barn has an open front, a later alteration probably relating to the conversion of the building into a cart shed. The building dates to the first half of the 19th century with alterations to the front wall dating to the late 19th century and re-roofing in the 1950s. |
