Building record 0847100000 - The Barn, Oakengrove Farm

Timber-framed barn, possibly built in late 18th century, with oak frame, brick plinth, weatherboard cladding and roof of clay tiles, probably replacing thatch. The floors are generally of beaten earth, although the centre bay has some timber flooring. Barn measures 13.5m X 6m and is of 3 bays with a brick-built rear cart bay and other later additions. The internal frames are almost of cruck form, with the principal rafters springing from the main beam and terminating on a high level collar. The barn appears to be the oldest building of a group of farm buildings comprising the main farmhouse, sheds and outbuildings, probably built in the mid to late 19th century.
