3/35 Barn approximately 7 metres - east of Glebe House
GV II
Cottage and garage, former barn. Late C16-early C17, remodelled in C20. The older work is plastered cob, the C20 work of plastered brick; roof of corrugated iron over thatch. The building faces west and now comprises a small 2-room plan cottage with end stack at the left (north) end and a garage at the right end, all a result of the C20 remodelling. Since the walls are plastered it is impossible at present to work out the former layout. The front has a ground and first floor casement without glazing bars between the cottage door and garage doors, all are C20. The roof is gable-ended to left and half-hipped to right. Interior: the garage has an axial beam of indeterminate C18 or C19 date having a roughly-finished soffit chamfer. The roof above shows 2 original side-pegged jointed cruck trusses. They apparently did not have collars originally. They carry 2 sets of trenched purlins and a ridge, and the original couples of common rafters survive and are pegged to the purlins. The roof appears to continue into the cottage section but there the roof is inaccessible. One of the purlins is a smoke- blackened timber presumably reused from a late medieval farmhouse. The building is difficult to work out but may derive from the original farmhouse which was replaced in the late C17 by the present Glebe House (q.v.) nearby.
