Late medieval threshing barn, Mersham Manor, Church Road, Mersham - Ashford

A late medieval barn that has for some time been suffering from water ingress and structural movement. Its roof tiles were removed without Listed Building Consent and replaced with protective sheeting which is now failing. Historic England is working with the Local Planning Authority and owners to secure the barn's long-term future.
