7/237 Barn at Hownhall, about 48m east of house 6.8.85
GV II
Former barn, now loose boxes for cattle; probably C15, altered or rebuilt C18. Gable English garden wall bond brickwork, sides brick-nogged timber frame on stone plinth: corrugated iron roof. Four-bay barn. Former double barn doors to right of centre, bricked up in late C20, with 16-pane horizontal window over, sliding door below. Wall framing 2 panels high, with thin timber added across centre of each panel: door posts extend a little higher than original wallplate, short, pegged studs at closer centres than in wall below support higher wallplate each side. On right one bay only; at right end a bricked-up doorway. Half- brick end of gable shows on side. Left 2 bays. Right return 3 slit air vents below, 2 above, top of gable weatherboarded. Interior: 1 cruck truss on right, 2 on left; housings for collars, some cut away. Additional bolted collars relate to new wallplate. Evidence for low beam in third truss, later cut away. One pair late purlins, square ridge: timbering for original half- hips at ends remains behind gables. Form of wall framing suggests rebuilding: this may be the barn transferred from Collards by John Holder in 1720. Forms group with house and brick barn (q.v.). (K. & W. Thomas, Our Story of Taynton, 1981.)
