Abstract: |
East Barn and the stables are located at the eastern end of a series of timber framed converted farm buildings, which formerly constituted the southern range of a large complex belonging to Throcking Hall Farm. East barn is a 4-bay, open fronted structure under a slate roof. The use of edge halved and bridled as well as counterbladed scarf joint in conjunction with primary bracing suggests that East Barn, which is an open fronted structure under a slate roof, is 17th century. Most of the brickwork in the adjoining stables as well as regularity of the timbers are indicative of a late 19th century date. However, the lower courses of bricks in the southern and eastern supporting dwarf walls appear to be 17th/1st half of the 18th century, which could suggest that the stables may have been built on the same footprint and using the same footings as an earlier structure. The groundworks revealed a possible clay floor surface within the barn and a solid yard surface to the north of the stables. |
