Abstract: |
A programme of historic building recording recording was carried out on a barn at Brookside House, Brook Lane, Great Easton, Leicestershire to meet the requirements of a condition of planning permission. The proposed scheme entailed the conversion of the barn to residential use and the construction of an extension to one side. The barn lies to the rear of Brooside House, a Grade II listed house dated by survey and dendrochronological analysis to the first half of the 17th century. The barn appears to predate the Great Estate enclosure map of 1805 and probably dates from the second half of the 18th century. The building is a typical threshing barn of the period. Built in ironstone with a Welsh slate roof, it is open to the roof and has large opposing doors, a pitching door (now glazed), and ventilation slits in the long walls. The tie-beams are probably original but the remainder of the wooden roof structure including the struts and principal rafters in the trusses are much more recent. A washroom built into one end of the barn is probably late Victorian or early 20th century in date. The space contained a fireplace and adjoining copper on a brick base. |
