- II
Barn. Dated 1846 and built by Sir Francis Drake. Roughly-shaped blocks of flint
laid to courses and with Hamstone ashlar detail; slate roof.
Threshing barn facing south-south-east, say south. It contains opposing central
doorways onto tne threshing floor. The front doorway is not full height. It
contains probably original double doors. Above the front door there is a Hamstone
plaque inscribed TTFE Drake, Bart, 1846. The roof is gable-ended with shaped
kneelers, coping and ball finials on the gables. There is a hayloft loading hatch
in the right (east) end.
Interior: not inspected.
Sir Francis Drake was evidently an improving landlord. Several of the farmhouses
and most of the farmbuildings on his Yarcombe estate were rebuilt to a high standard
in the mid C19. There are several other similar barns on the estate but this is
perhaps the best example.
