STANTON ST. JOHN
POUND LANE (East side)
Farm building and attached walls, beside Menmarsh Road, from approx. 40m. S to 65m. E of Manor Farmhouse

GV
II*

Open shed/shelter and attached walls. C17/C18. Limestone rubble; thatched roof. Six-bay plan. Shelter has three rubble walls with a hipped roof.

Interior: five heavy cross beams are each carried by two posts, on tapering stone bases, and lodged on rear wall. Rough poles spanning between beams are overlaid with sticks and gorse, upon which the thatch is built up. Flanking high rubble walls are visually very important at the core of the village. The roof construction, which was probably originally thatched with gorse etc., is a rare survival of a primitive method.

Included for group value.
