4/111 Barn 60m. north-west of - Abbey Farmhouse
GV II*
Aisled barn. Circa 1300. Timber framed and weatherboarded; pantiles to main roof, corrugated sheeting over aisles. The roof was renewed c.1960 and now has a mansard form. 7 bays, the 2 at the west end a later addition, incorporating reused timbers. The original entry on the north side, in the third bay from the east end. The main posts, with jowled heads, have an intentional inward cant. Their feet rest on low balks of timber, which could be secondary; the first post from the east end in the northern arcade appears to be earth-fast. The trusses have a pair of straight braces, and a pair of passing braces, morticed into the tie-beam and trenched across the main posts and the side-ties to the aisles. Many of these braces have been replaced by bolted knees. The braces from the posts to the arcade plates, most of which survive, are numbered in sequence, 1 to 10. In corresponding positions in each wallplate is a stop splayed scarfing joint with sallied butts and key, similar to those found in the barn at Great Coxwell, Berks (see Hewett, English Historic Carpentry). Normal assembly to the main frame, reversed assembly to the aisles, although the aisle walls have been largely rebuilt, using sections of the older wall plates.
