GV II

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)
