Details
SHIPTON-UNDER-WYCHWOOD STATION ROAD SP 2618-2718 6/101 Tithe-Barn about 75 yards north-west of the Old 27.8.56 Prebendal GV II* Rectorial barn. Probably early C14, rebuilt in stone in C15, largely re-roofed in the C17; minor mid-late C19 alterations and repairs. Rubble with Cotswold stone roof, coped verges and saddlestones, the roof is noticeably racked to north-east. 3:6 bays once of full cruck construction, see pads tones and undulation of (secondary) masonry cladding/construction; the crucks adapted to form reduced (effectively raised) crucks, or principals with curved feet, of which two survived the late C17 reconstruction. South-east front: 3 buttresses, irregular; 2-light mullioned window with drip to left; stone steps to upper door to left of centre; opposed entries to right of centre (to north-east end); blocked slit vents. North-east gable has slit vent with lozenge head. Interior: the two surviving original trusses have short yokes supported by multi-pegged arch braces and formerly carried two pairs of trenched purlins with windbraces; evidence that the eaves level was lower than now in possible cruck spur buried in wall. Stone partition wall for floored south-west end appears contemporary suggesting that it was, at least from the C17, a multi- purpose barn. There is a theory that the induction of the crucks here (or similar casts) led to the development of raised and upper crucks and particularly the principals with curved feet that are not uncommon in this area. [P J Drury, Report to the Historic Buildings Advisory Committee, (August 1984).]
