Description

SD 83 SE WORSTHORNE WITH HURSTWOOD HURSTWOOD 3/54 Barn on west side of road, immediately east of Spenser House (formerly listed by inclusion with Spenser House) 1.4.1953 GV II

Barn, probably c.1600, part altered as cottage. Coursed squared sandstone, stone slate roof. Aisled 4-bay plan; opposed wagon entrances to 3rd bay (from south end) recessed between aisles; aisles on east side have inserted doors and windows, that on the right has a chimney breaking through the roof. South gable has a small window and some little breathers. Principal feature of interest is interior, which is of post-and-truss construction, with 4 frames (including north gable): posts with arch-bracing to tie-beams and aisle-plates, king-post roof trusses with angle struts, 2 pairs of purlins to the nave and 2 also to the aisles (stone and brick partitions built into some parts). Good example of aisled barns found in this District, but rare elsewhere in this county.
