Description

Plan Form - RECTANGULAR
OF THE 3 BARNS, THE FURTHEST, ON AN AXIS TO THE HALL, IS OLDEST, POSSIBLY LATE C17/EARLY C18. 3 BAYS, TIMBER-FRAMED & WEATHERBOARDED & 2 TIE-BEAM TRUSSES. THE OTHER 2 BUILDINGS ARE ALSO TIMBER-FRAMED & WEATHERBOARDED BUT ARE PROBABLY LATER C18 (FURTHER DETAIL) (B1). AT NGR. NOW DEMOLISHED (B2).
Early 19th century barn is a timber-framed structure of five bays, the central bay having been used for threshing. Build largely of softwood, the barn has a clay peg-tile roof and a rammed earth floor. Some of the main timbers are reused, having come from an earlier building. The 60 foot long ladder in the roof was used in the local orchard for picking cherries (B3).
Late 19th century three bay threshing barn from Hill Farm. Constructed from oak and softwood, with softwood feather edged cladding, and a clay tile roof, with two lean-tos at the front (B4). Some confusion over the date and size of the barn.
