GV II*

Barn. C16. Large, late medieval, 7-bay aisled barn at manorial
centre of the manor of Chamberlains alias Bursteads (VCH III
(1912) 341-2, interior view on p 343). Timber frame,
weatherboarded on low sill wall. High steeply pitched roof,
hipped at W end but quarter-hipped only at E. Now covered in
corrugated iron, but still thatched when described by VCH in
1912. Heavy jowled arcade posts with long, slightly curved
braces to tie beams but shorter straight braces to arcade plate,
which is jointed over every post with a long face-halved and
bladed scarf joint. Spur sills join the feet of the posts to the
aisle wall and there is a curved down brace from the post to this
sill, joined to the post a little below the aisle tie beam.
Heavy collar trusses with slender straight queen struts across
the lower angles. Single row of butt purlins staggered in
height. Forms a group with the house.
