2/23 Aisled Cattleshed at Briggens Home Farm - 50 metres NNW of house

GV II

Aisled cattleshed. Later c19. Large square grey brick building with wide entrance in gable facing S. Low pitched gabled roof now covered in corrugated asbestos. Vertical boarding with arched, decorated, lower edge over entrance. 6-bay timber structure of open nave and wide aisles divided into bays, each with a 2-light window. The arcade posts have rebates to hold rails closing off each bay. Central circular window in N gable above larger (modern?) windows. Wide span king post roof structure and inclined strut from lower aisle tie supporting purlin of aisle roof. An unusual, spacious, later Cl9, aisled cattleshed, little altered. It is of special interest as the culmination of the C19 changes in the farming economy of the area towards fattening cattle in enclosed yards with open fronted sheds for shelter. The addition of roofs over the yards was common and led to integration of covered yard and shelter sheds in the nave and aisles of a single building in this example. It is part of the historic farm group at Briggens Home Farm.
