GV II

Barn. Late C16. Timber framed, the walls mainly clad in tarred corrugated
iron, with a similar roof cladding. Interior. The frame is in 5 quite narrow
bays, with largely intact studding, full-height except in the gable ends and
opposite the original cart entrance where there are mid rails. Arched wall
bracing. The 2 bays at the east end were originally partitioned off and
floored for use as stabling; the 2nd bay retains C16 plain joists, set flat;
evidence for diamond-mullioned openings in this section. The cart entrance
was in the centre of the 3 open bays, on the south side. One open tie beam
retains arched braces to the wallposts, the remainder have later knees. Roof
has clasped and butt purlins, with incomplete 2-way wind bracing to the butt
purlins. Brick threshing floor.
