GV II
A purpose built block comprising barn, linhays, milling and threshing machine room,
sheltered yard and underground water-wheel. 1821. The words "Rob Pitt had this
barn built in 1821 by William Brown the mason and William Thomas carpenter" are
painted on a bressumer above the sheltered yard. Cob, stone plinth, plastered,
under gabled-end slate roof. The block which is roughly L-shaped lies on sloping
ground with easy vehicular access to the rear (which contains the machine room
powered by a water-wheel still surviving underground and fed by a leet), but of 2-
storeys at the front where the 5-bay hay loft and barn is set over the sheltered
section of the livestock yard (i.e. following the principal of a bank barn); the
milling gear is largely intact; 1 drive-shaft powers a root masher which is placed
in the tallet above the adjoining linhay, which encloses a separate yard. Machines
for threshing and reed combing were also housed in this complex. The main barn
(which might be a little earlier than the other parts of the building) has a large
pentice roof over lay loft double doors above sheltered yard, overhanging eaves and
fascia, and a prominent weathervane.
