SE 26 NE MARKINGTON WITH HIGH STREET WALLERTHWAITE (north side)
5/63 Barn approximately 30 metres east of Markington 6.3.67 Hall, with attached chapel (formerly listed as Barn and Outbuildings at Markington Hall).
GV II
Barn and attached outbuildings, now chapel. C16 barn, possibly earlier, with C19 and C20 restorations, outbuildings converted 1939 by Lord Illingworth for the Wilberforces. Timber frame clad in sandstone, limestone and cobble, attached range of rubble; pantile roofs with eaves courses of stone slates to barn. 5-bay barn with side aisles and attached chapel range, projecting at right-angle on left. West front: quoins. Large central double board door; blocked ventilation slits to right. Chapel range has 4-panel doors and paired pointed windows. Rear (towards road): low cart entrance with sandstone surround. Left return: attached outbuilding, now a garage, not of special interest. Right return: 3 rows of 3 blocked slit vents. The roof, steeply-pitched at ridge, shallower towards eaves. Interior: posts are set on padstones and have clear carpenters marks. Braces to tie beams and arcade plates. The barn has been described by the North Yorkshire and Cleveland Vernacular Buildings Study Group (1977) when it was concluded that the original barn, possibly pre-1500, was of 3 bays with side and end aisles and timber-framed outer walls. Mortice holes on the surviving posts suggest that the interior was originally divided by timber partitions. The trusses supporting the roof are composed of narrow principals with collars and short king-posts. North Yorkshire and Cleveland Vernacular Buildings Study Group, Report Number 283, 1977.
