5/10 Barn and cow house about 60 yards north-west of Court Farmhouse

GV II*

Barn, formerly tithe barn, and cow house. Possibly C14 or C15, with C18 cow house extension. High sandstone rubble and brick plinth, timber-framed with brick cogging, weatherboards and corrugated iron roofs. Six plus one bays aligned roughly north/south with five pairs of cruck blades. East elevation faces the farmyard on falling ground; two opposed entrances with ledged doors, one in the right bay and the other four bays further south. Frame is two large square panels high from plinth to wall-plate with weather boarded top panels and brick to bottom; several tension braces especially near the doors. Lower C18 cow house extension to south has one bay with four panels of framing of relatively light scantling to wall-plate and ledged door to east side; C19 open lean-to on its south end (not included). Interior: cruck blades are halved at the top, the pair immediately north of the southern threshing floor have cruck spurs, the rear have ties but some have been sawn off. Massive posts and rails remaining in two panels at the south end at junction with adjoining cow house. At the north end are indications that the barn formerly extended at least another bay in that direction. A most spectacularly sited cruck barn with picturesque relationship to nearby parish church (qv) and Court Farmhouse (qv). Graded II* as a complete example of a substantial late medieval barn. (RCHM, Vol II, p 9).
