2/23 Aisled Cattleshed
at Briggens Home Farm
- 50 metres NNW of house
GV II
Aisled cattleshed. Later c19. Large square grey brick building
with wide entrance in gable facing S. Low pitched gabled roof
now covered in corrugated asbestos. Vertical boarding with
arched, decorated, lower edge over entrance. 6-bay timber
structure of open nave and wide aisles divided into bays, each
with a 2-light window. The arcade posts have rebates to hold
rails closing off each bay. Central circular window in N gable
above larger (modern?) windows. Wide span king post roof
structure and inclined strut from lower aisle tie supporting
purlin of aisle roof. An unusual, spacious, later Cl9, aisled
cattleshed, little altered. It is of special interest as the
culmination of the C19 changes in the farming economy of the area
towards fattening cattle in enclosed yards with open fronted
sheds for shelter. The addition of roofs over the yards was
common and led to integration of covered yard and shelter sheds
in the nave and aisles of a single building in this example. It
is part of the historic farm group at Briggens Home Farm.
