GV II
Barn. Designed by Maxwell Ayrton FRIBA for Sir Arthur Howard in 1929-30 as part of a model dairy farm. The north and south sides each have six concrete columns with wooden lintels forming five open sided bays. The remainder of the structure, including the top of the north and south sides, the east and west ends and the roof is metal-framed, clad in corrugated asbestos. The columns are made of a well-compacted 1:2:2 mix by volume of concrete showing the lines of the two feet by six inch lift used to form the structures.
Part of am Inter-War model dairy farm, particularly unusual for its pioneering use of concrete construction used architecturally rather than just structurally by a noted practitioner, Maxwell Ayrton.
