SD 792 468 3/157 Sawley Grange Farmhouse and barn adjoining to east - - II

House, c.1800 and mid C19th, with remains of aisled building probably c.1500. Rubble, rendered at rear, with stone slate roof. Windows have plain stone surrounds. The ground-floor window is sashed with no glazing bars. On the 1st floor are 2 windows, the left-hand one being of 3 lights with square mullions. At the right is a taller extension of one bay, which has a door with plain stone surround at its left. Chimney on gable at right (west) and between house and barn. The barn has a slate roof. Towards the right is a wide entrance with concrete lintel. At the left are doors and windows with plain reveals. Interior has remains of aisled building, probably a barn. On the ground floor the right-hand front aisle post is exposed. The left-hand rear room has an exposed aisle post and aisle tie, and supports a main joist spanning the former nave. On the 1st floor the right-hand truss is partly visible through wallpaper. Both aisle posts have jowled heads, the front one retaining its orace to the tie beam. The left-hand front aisle post is exposed, together with part of the front aisle plate. The principals of the left-hand truss remain in the loft space, with a short king post rising from a collar. The right-hand truss has been altered above tie beam level. Inside the barn 2 complete aisled trusses are visible. One is in the dividing wall between house and barn. The 2nd is to the left of the wide entrance. Between them the aisle plates and purlins have been removed. A redundant brace to an aisle plate suggests that the aisled construction once continued further east. Presumably the building was part of a grange of Sawley Abbey. Alterations beginning shortly (1985) may reveal more of the timber structure.
