TL 51 NE HIGH RODING Barn approx. 60 metres 2/61 SW of moat at New Hall Farm 7.2.52 II*

Barn, C16, with one aisle. Timber framed, brick nogged and weatherboarded, roof tiled. 8 bays aligned approximately north-south with aisle to west only, divided by original partition into 5 bays to south and 3 to north. 2 midstreys added after original construction, probably C17. The barn is built on a sloping site, with original brick footings in English bond, with one course of oblique tiles below groundsills, varying from 0.75 metre to 2 metres high according to the site. Most original groundsills present. Jowled storey posts, arched braces to cambered tie- beams, arched arcade braces, plain crownposts with thin curved braces to collar- purlin, one curved brace rising from each tiebeam, on alternate sides at each post. Original half-hip. One panel of original wattle and daub remains in the partition. The long east wall has original brick noggings executed in 6 different geometrical designs. Plain brick nogging is carried round one-half only of the south wall. The remainder of that wall, and the north wall, have fixings for original wattle and daub, now replaced by weatherboarding. All the posts and studs of the brick nogged parts (1½ walls) are concave-sided to key the nogging. The bricks are 5cm. high of Tudor type. The low wall of the west aisle is now weather- boarded, but has fixings of a different type, used originally for vertical weather- boarding. Rebates show that originally the large doors opening outwards. There is a complete series of carpenters' assembly marks on posts, braces and partition studs.

This barn is of exceptional interest as an early example of brick nogging, and as a late example of crownpost construction. It is clear that the brick nogging, an expensive material compared with traditional infill, was used sparingly, but in flamboyant Tudor style, on only those elevations which would be seen from the southeast and east. This barn is the only surviving building of a manorial complex consisting of a large brick-lined moat, a house of E-plan with two storey porch and a court-hall, probably built by Sir Thomas Josselyn soon after 1544. Part of the house, chapel and gatehouse were recorded by the RCHM in 1914 (the original record card is more informative than the Inventory) but the remaining part was destroyed by enemy action in April 1943. (Photographs at the NMR record the wreckage) The manor was described as Newhall-Jocelyn in the inquisition post mortem of Sir Thomas of 1562, and the house is named as such in John Norden's county map of 1594. It appears that Sir Thomas Josselyn established a new manorial site there, in preference to the older site near the parish church. Field names record 2 brick kiln sites near the house, where the present bricks were probably made. Further details on file at Essex Record Office. RCHM 6.
