II
Barn/Cowshed, formerly a domestic dwelling or chapel. Probably early C16. Roughly coursed sandstone blocks on offset plinth, plain tiled roof.

Four bays; south side has a blocked late Perpendicular doorway with a Tudor arch, three later doorways, those to left and right round headed, that to centre with flat chamfered lintel (re-used?); stone two light mullioned windows to gables, although only the lower window to the west actually retains its mullion. Lean-to open shelter to north supported on cylindrical iron columns, said to have been made at Coalbrookdale and to have been in position here since early C19. here is no evidence to lend weight to the tradition that the barn was formerly a domestic chapel to Humphreston Hall (q.v.) except for its east-west orientation.
