Shelter sheds and granary with cart shed. c1850, possibly by Benjamin Bucknall for William Leigh. Random rubble limestone; clay pantile roof. Four shelter sheds stand in pairs, south east facing with yards between. Five-bay cart shed abuts one yard on north east side. C20 concrete block yard walls and steel-framed covered yards are not of special interest. All blocks have parapet gabled ends, off-centre shouldered arched doorways onto dividing passage. Five bay arcade to westernmost sheds, 4-bay to others, all with chamfered segmental pointed arches. Buttressed gable ends to granary, loft doorway at south east end reached by stone steps; quatrefoil vent above. A good example of Cl9 farm buildings grouping well with the adjacent tithe barn (q.v.). (Illustrated before construction of covered yards in Country Life, 20th May 1905)
