HIGH BICKINGTON SS 52 SE 4/73 Barn and shippons approximately 15 - metres to north-west of Lee Barton
GV II
Barn and shippon, possibly former separate service range to Lee Barton (q.v.). Probably early C17 with late C19 alterations and additions. Uncoursed stone rubble to ground floor and cob to first floor, partly rebuilt in stone rubble. Gable-ended corrugated-iron roof, with lean-to roofs over minor additions. Plan: Range aligned approximately north-west/south-east, facing farmyard to north- east (ground falls to right). Shippons to left divided by stone wall, with loft above, and barn to right. Later additions included one-storey outshuts to front at right-hand and left-hand ends, and further C19 alterations included the open front to the loft at left and the rebuilding of the right-hand gable end. It is possible that this range was formerly a separate service range to Lee Barton (see chamfered beams and mortice and tenoned collar truss) altered and with barn added in the later C17. Two storeys. Exterior: Shippon to left has open-fronted loft divided by a square stone pier and 2 ground-floor plank doors with wooden lintels. Lean-to addition to left. Large lean- to addition to right has cart entrance with pair of large double plank doors and 2 small windows to left with brick reveals and wooden lintels. Left-hand gable end has plank loft door with brick reveals and wooden lintel and ground-floor 2-light window with wooden lintel. Right-hand gable and also has plank door with wooden lintel. Interior: Loft in left-hand end supported on 2 low stone cross walls. Right-hand shippon has three C17 cambered chamfered cross beams (right-hand one half beam) with straight cut and broach stops. C17 nine-bay roof mainly with C17 trusses consisting of straight principals and pegged lap-jointed collars. The third truss from left is probably late C16 or early C17, with mortice and tenoned collar and principals with curved feet, and the first truss from the left is also probably of c.1600, with cambered collar, principals with curved feet and mortice and tenoned apex. Both trusses (probably reused) show evidence of former trenched purlins. This building forms part of a farmstead grouped around Lee Barton (q.v.).
