Abstract: |
The historic building survey concurs with the statutory listing description for the timber-framed aisled barn (building A) that it was built during the 18th century. This assertion is supported by the carpentry style of the frame and graffiti, with the date 1750, carved into an arcade post to the midstrey. The carpentry adopts a traditional vernacular style typical of lowland barns of the region from the medieval period. The barn is clearly post-medieval in date. This is illustrated by the use of face halved and counter-bladed scarf joints, though not particularly diagnostic, they are used throughout the post-medieval period. Primary wall bracing, the absence of passing braces to the aisle, and the use of a mixture of locally sourced 'new oak' and re-used timber are all features common to 17th and 18th century barns. The plan form of the barn, built to achieve a greater storage capacity by using aisles is also a regional response for the need for larger barns following improvements in agriculture and grain yields in the late 17th and 18th century and as a consequence of improvements established during the British Agricultural Revolution. |
