Details
The following building shall be added to the list:
ABBEY FIELDS 1. 1103 TR 0261 8/327 Cartshed and adjoining shed about 80 metres southeast of Abbey Farmhouse. GV II
Cartshed and integral shed of uncertain function. Probably C18. Weatherboarded timber frame. Hipped corrugated iron roof.
Plan: 6-bay rectangular building. The 3 wider cart-shed bays at the west end are open on the north front and west end. The 3 narrower eastern bays are closed in and there is a doorway on the north side of the third bay from the east.
Exterior: The north front has 3 open bays to the right with curved braces and is weatherboarded to the left with a doorway to the left of centre. The west end is open and the east end and rear (south) are weatherboarded and without openings. Interior: The close-studded timber frame is complete and has curved braces to the open bays, tension braces to the closed bays and jowled wall-posts, but only a few of the curved braces to the tie-beams remain. Complete common-rafter roof with straight morticed collars, clasped purlins and a board at the ridge. The joints have carpenter's assembly marks. The closed east end is said to have been a carpentry shop but its original use is not known. In spite of the missing roof cladding the structure is complete and it is an interesting example of anCl8 farm building.
