ODD RODE C.P. (Off) CONGLETON ROAD
SJ 85 NW
7/80 Barn at Little Moreton
Hall Farm
14.2.67
GV II*

Barn. C15 of two phases. Timber framed with clapboard covering and a
plain tile roof. Single storey, divided at the centre by two dividing
walls. The western front has a C20 stone plinth common to the whole
building, above which is C20 clapboarding. Double doorway at centre
with, at either side, 3 square pitch-holes to the upper walling. C20
tile roof. The eastern front has clapboarding without any openings.
The right hand side projects slightly but the roof resolves itself to
the ridge line of the building at left. The gable ends are
clapboarded with double doors to the ground floor.
Interior: The southern end has four pairs of cruck beams with a
single spur to each side. Each pair of beams does not meet at the
apex but is joined by a yoke. All the pairs have collar beams, two
have a tie beam. To the side walls between each truss are 4 x 3 cells
of small framing, save at the southern end of the eastern wall where
some displacement has occurred. Some of these cells retain infill of
butted boards which has been overlayed by the C20 clapboarding. Two
purlins and a ridge to the roof and wind-bracing which may be of a
later date. The northern truss in this portion has small-framing
between the blades with butt-boarded infill. The northern end has 4
further pairs of cruck blades, these being slightly wider and having
two spurs to each side but otherwise essentially similar and also
having walling of 4 x 3 cells of small framing with some butt
boarding, the frame being grooved to accommodate the boards. The
southern pair of blades are here given an infill of small framing with
butt boarding to form a partition similar to that at north of the
southern half.
