CHURCH PULVERBATCH C.P. L-shaped barn at Sheppen Fields

II

Former longhouse, now barn. Probably mid-C15, extended early C17 with later additions and alterations. Timber framed of cruck construction, partly weatherboarded and encased in red brick and uncoursed limestone rubble, corrugated iron roof replacing thatch. Aligned east-west with animal accommodation at lower (west) end, a cross-wing was added c.1625 and an ashlar stack inserted in main range. All former doorway and window openings to front have been blocked and there are mid-C20 lean-to additions. Interior: inspection not possible at time of re-survey (1985), but the main range is known to have 4 true cruck trusses with Alcock apex type B. The building ceased to be a farmhouse at some time after c.1920, and is now used as an agricultural store. V.C.H. VIII (1968), Pp.133 and plate opposite p.54; Alcock (1981), p.144.
