16/508 Barn approx 140m north east
of Groombridge Place
GV II
Barn. Probably late C17/early C18. Weatherboarded timber frame on coursed
sandstone footings. Peg-tile roof.
Plan: Double barn on a rought north south axis with 2 sets of opposing double
doors onto the threshing floors.
Exterior: On the west side the right hand (southern) doorway is full height,
the other one not quite. The reverse is true on the other side. Both contain
probably C20 double doors. On the east side the ground level is lower and
therefore the doorways are raised for ease of loading from carts. This side
also includes 3 loading hatch doorways, one in the centre and one each end.
Roof is gable-ended.
Interior: Late C17/early C18 structure is well-preserved. Large scantling
timbers. 6 bays. Wall frames include straight tension braces. Wall posts
have jowled heads and tie beams have curving arch braces. Uncollared trusses
with 2 sets of staggered butt purlins. In the C19 the trusses were adapted to
accommodate king posts with raking struts.
