Building record 1161901000 - QUAKER BARN (15M NE OF QUAKER FARMHOUSE)

Grade II. Barn. Dated 1794 on beam. Timber frame with whitewashed brick infill to west, weatherboard cladding to east, and gable to road mostly rebuilt in brick. Rubble stone plinth, old tile roof. 3 bays. Central waggon entry, 2-light casement to left Raking queen post trusses with braced tie beams. Included for group value (B1).
Historic building recording by AS&C in October 2009 suggests that the barn was built no earlier than the late 17th century or early 18th century, but that the 1794 dated inscription probably relates to a family marriage, rather than the date of construction. It is further suggested that the barn was renovated in the 1790s in celebration of the wedding of the then owner, Thomas Fowler. Contrary to its name, the barn was never associated with the Quakers (B2).
