The 13th century St Boltoph's Church was converted into the barn in the late 18th century but is believed to have been abandoned as a church around two centuries before. An oast kiln was also added to the structure in the 19th century.
The photographer's notes state: 'Church Barn. Sedilia and Piscina. (The Church Barn was formerly Ruxley Church, disused from the 16th century)'.
Ruxley Farm is now Ruxley Manor Garden Centre.
