Threshing barn. Built in 1833 following an act of arson which destroyed an earlier
barn on the site. Red brick laid in English garden wall bond with weatherboarded
waggon entrance with double doors and brick ventilation slits. Interior has door
openings with principal posts having gearstock jowl sand diagonal struts to tie
beam. The half-hipped roof is of collar and side purlin construction with a wind-

the earlier barn, a farm labourer called William Goodsell was subsequently hanged
and this was a local cause-celebre. See E Austen 'A Tragic Story of Revenge at
