CHRISTOW
SX 88 SW
5/78 Barn about 6 metres south west
of Hill
GV II
Barn. Probably late C17, extended or rebuilt at the north end in the C18. Stone
rubble and cob; corrugated iron roof, gabled at ends.
Plan: Rectangular on plan, sited downhill from the former farmhouse, Hill, adjacent
to the road. Position of original entrance unclear, presently entered at the north
end which is open.
Exterior: Lofted barn. Loft loading door on east side, facing the road, several
blocked doorways on the west side. A thick cob crosswall suggests that the building
has been extended at the north end which is now open.
Interior: North end with 2 probably late C18 or C19 pegged collar rafter roof
trusses; the southern part of the barn has 3 probably late C17 collar rafter trusses
with lap-dovetailed collars which are steeply cambered. Lintels and straight joints
in the west wall suggest considerable rebuilding.
Group value with Hill.
