4/143 Barn approximately 35 metres east - of Sutton Barton Farmhouse 4.6.84 GV II
Barn. Probably mid - late C16, some C19 additions. Exposed local stone and flint rubble and some Beerstone dressings; corrugated iron roof with some thatch below. The C19 granary extension is similar stone rubble with brick dressings and slate roof. Plan: the barn is built across the hillslope facing east. It is a large threshing barn with opposing full height doorways to the threshing floor a little left (south) of centre. A C19 granary projects at right angles to rear, and overlaps a little, the left end. Other secondary outshots to rear. Exterior: the large front doorway is a plain opening. There are 2 hayloft loading hatches to left and were probably 2 to right but the end one has been enlarged to another doorway. The roof is hipped to left and gable-ended to right with shaped kneelers and coping. There is a narrow Beerstone ventilator in that end. The rear doorway is flanked by buttresses with weathered offsets. The granary has an external staircase. Interior: the threshing floor is flanked by stone rubble an cob partitions. These are probably C17 since they are spanned by 2 chamfered and scroll-stopped beams. The southern section has a hayloft over carried on probably secondary roughly chamfered crossbeams. The northern section is open to the roof. The roof is original; it is 8 bays and carried on side-pegged jointed cruck trusses with cranked collars and three sets of through purlins. Despite its poor condition this is a fine and unusually large C16 barn.
