11/12 Aisled Barn at
Mundenbury
- (70m to SE of house)

GV II*


Aisled barn. Probably C13 or early C14 (from jointing
techniques), end bays C17, roof C19. Timber frame weatherboarded
on red brick sill (renewed) with low pitched corrugated iron
roof. A 6-bay 2-aisled barn facing S, with later lean-to on S
not of special interest. Original 3-bay structure represented by
2nd, 3rd and 4th bays from W. Heavy jowled arcade posts each
trenched for passing-brace on side nearer midstray, and supported
on plate and spur sill-wall. Jowled wall-posts and aisle ties.
Socket for brace from arcade post to tie beam below passing-
brace. Heavy square-section straight braces from posts to arcade
plates. These last are jointed by stop-splayed scarf joints with
under-squinted butts, transverse key and 7 face pegs. C17
replacement cambered tie-beams for inclined queen-strut, side-
purlin former roof. Aisle structure extended one bay at W and 2
bays at E in C17 with similar jowled posts but arcade plate
jointed by face-halved bladed scarf joints over each post. Side
walls heightened in C19 and lower pitched roof built. Unusual
survival of a medieval aisled barn structure. Probably built by
the Furnivall family as sub tenants of the Earls of Richmond (VCH
(1912) 124-26).
