6/155 Church Farm: farm buildings
GV II
Farmstead; built as one range mid C19, but parts earlier. Random rubble stone with larger quoins; slate roofs. Large U-plan, with one arm extended: nearly all buildings single storey. on left, 5-bay cartshed, first bay walled, with double boarded doors under cambered stone arch; remainder open, timber lintel on square piers; parapet gable at front end. Internally king-post trusses with iron bolts, as most of rest of farmstead. This abuts earlier barn, 5-bay, central double boarded doors with timber lintel, 5 slit air vents on left in two rows: on right 2, then lean-to extension of no special interest, covering blocked door and slit air vent. Internally stone-paved threshing floor, originally with low wall to bays on left, since demolished. On right loft; end bay walled off below as harness room and feed store for stable, with gable door thereto. Barn burnt in mid-late C19, re-roofed with queen post trusses with iron bolts. Beyond, continuing line, a passage with doors each end and side, 5-bay stable and single-bay loose box, 3 original boarded sliding doors to yard: no windows, light from glass slates in roof (also in cowhouse). Cobbled causeway along front to yard, extending along front of cowhouse beyond. Internally cobbled floor and hay rack survives, and water tank over passage. 5-bay cowhouse at right-angles beyond, with feed preparation room at each end: that on left has double doors to rick yard. 2 doors as stables to yard; cast-iron grilles at low level for ventilation, back and front walls. Internally 2 doors to each end room, feeding passage at head of cattle, with original trough lined with clay tiles, with timber edgings: timber rail above and original stone slab stalls: there was never a hay rack. on right return a 4-bay open-fronted shed with square stone piers for loose yard cattle, one bay built up. This was later walled off as a slaughter house. It abuts an earlier 2-storey building, upper floor used as granary: stone wall completes enclosure of yard at front. Stone-walled rick-yard lies behind barn. A fairly complete and little altered set of mid C19 farm buildings.
