9/246 Granary/cottage 40 metres north of Church Hall Farmhouse

GV II

Granary, early C16 or earlier, altered to a cottage in early C19, later used as a poultry house, now unused. Timber framed with original infill of vertical oak planks and some later C16 brick nogging, some cement rendering, roofed with handmade red plain tiles and corrugated iron. 2 bays aligned NW-SE, with early C19 external stack to SE. Granary originally of one storey; upper storey added for cottage. The SW elevation is cement rendered; it had the original doorway, now altered, and has 3 large C20 window apertures on the ground floor. The original walls of the granary are almost intact elsewhere, except for one C19 window aperture and one C19 plain boarded door in the NE elevation, and the insertion of a hearth in the SE elevation. The NE elevation has an original vent complete with an original internal shutter on pintle hinges, a rare feature meriting special care. Vertical oak boards are deeply rebated into double-pegged studs to present a flush surface internally, with jowled corner posts of L-section and external curved tension braces. C16 brick nogging has been inserted later, outside the boards, of bricks 0.24 x 0.11 x 0.04 metres with lime mortar in 'simple oblique' and 'stacked blocks' patterns; but as the studs are not recessed to key the mortar much of it has fallen out; there is some later nogging. The floor is supported on brick piers, which at the outside have been joined later to form a continuous plinth; owing to the rise in the ground level this plinth is now visible externally only to the NE. The floor comprises 9 heavy joists of horizontal section in each bay, jointed to the central transverse main joist with central tenons. Some original rebated oak floorboards remain in situ, mostly covered by another layer of later boards. The central post of the NE elevation is deeply grooved for the wall planking, and originally was jowled, with an arched brace to the cambered tiebeam; the jowl and most of the brace have been cut away for access to a C19 stair. The enclosure for this stair incorportates part of an original bin wall, to a height of approx. 0.80 metre, of rebated oak planks fastened with the same large-headed nails as the outer planking. The SW doorway is below the other end of the internal tiebeam, and there was no arch-brace at this end. There is no visible evidence of a crownpost. One original rafter couple and halved collar survive in the central partition; the remainder of the roof has been demolished for the upper storey, but rafter seatings indicate that it was hipped at each end. The upper storey is of C19 lightweight framing, cement-rendered externally, with one window aperture to the NE and one C19 horizontal sash of 8 lights to the NW. The roof is of softwood framing, the tiling largely complete over the NW bay, with corrugated iron over the SE bay. Blocked hearth on ground floor; early C19 cast iron ducknest grate on upper floor. Granaries of this early date are rare; 3 others are known in Essex. Measured drawings by Anne Padfield will be deposited with Essex Record Office and the National Monuments Record. RCHM 57.
