Interior has wall-plates supported by eight oak piers resting on octagonal
moulded sandstone bases, each pier is square section with an attached half-
column to each face, half-columns and piers are linked at the top by necking,
plain capitals and part-octagonal abaci. The piers are said to have been
recovered from the lowest open stage of the former town hall in High Town,

and was demolished in 1862. This item is included for these piers; the
barn itself is not of special architectural interest. Whitfield (qv) is
