1/30 Barn and cow house about 20 yards north-east of - Great Cefyn Farmhouse

GV II

Barn and cow house. C17. Rubble, corrugated iron roof. Two parts consisting of 4 bay barn to west and adjoining cow house with loft to east. Barn: small 2-light oak mullioned window to west bay, ventilator slits in 2 rows, 4 either side of main south entrance, one of 2 sets of opposed ledged full-height double doors in the third bay from the west end. Further entrance in west bay to right of the small 2-light window, with C19 ledged door leading into cot. Cow house part to east has 3 matching entrances under plain tiled hoods each with pegged and chamfered oak door frame, the centre one dated "1677" on its lintol; ledged doors to 2 of the entrances. Interior: Barn with 2 types of A-frame raking strut trusses: one with 2 vertical posts from tie to collar; the other with none. Three sets of purlins to each slope appear to continue with overlaps through east rubble wall into cow house loft. The rubble wall reaches almost up to tie-beam level and contains just above ground level, a blocked opening with oak lintol. In the west bay is a cot occupying half the depth and the whole width of the bay which is partitioned off on north and east sides by light studs and posts. Cow house: loft (not inspected) and stalls and troughs, probably C19. Appears to be an extension of the barn. The calligraphic "1677" incised, slightly off-centre, on the lintol of the central entrance relates closely to a building of similar date at Lower House Farm (qv). RCHM, Vol I, refers to the cow house as stables which is strange in view of the lowness of the entrances.
