Half-hipped roof with gablets, clad in corrugatdiron. On the east side the eaves are raised over a central cart entrance with boarded doors. A smaller pair of centrally-placed boarded doors on the west side. Attached to the north end is a small lean-to stable of C18 or C19 date, also timber framed and weatherboarded. Interior. 5 bays, 2 aisles. Heavy, closely-spaced studded; end walls have tension braces halved against outside of studs. Studding substantially intact except for some rebuilding in C20 brick in north end bay, although much of the lower parts of the external walls have been encased in concrete. A notable survival is the original framing of the east cart entry. A little of the original wattle and daub infilling survives at the north end. Jowled arcade posts, with largely intact curved braces to arcade plates (2 missing out of 20) and tie beams (one missing out of 8). Each arcade post has a side tie to the aisle wall, where it is supported on a jowled post, immediately below the wallplate. There was a down brace from the head of each arcade post to the outer end of the side tie (all missing except in the end frames) and a parallel brace from the inner end of the side tie to the foot of the aisle wall (some survive). The 4 arcade posts on the east side rest on tne original timber sleepers; those opposite have thier bases concealed by concrete. Remarkably intact crown post roof, unaltered since construction: 4 plain crown post trusses with thin curved 2-way braces to the collar purlin; rafters set flat. An unusually intact barn for its date. Listing NGR: TL7198044518
