SD8530 TODMORDEN ROAD, Burnley Wood
906-1/7/182 (East side (off))
29/09/77 Barn approximately 50m west of

(Formerly Listed as:

GV II

Barn with integral shippons. Probably late C17 or very early
C18; raised and altered in later C19. Coursed squared
sandstone rubble with large quoins, slate roof.
PLAN: T-plan formed by main range on approximately east-west
axis with a very unusual multi-function porch-wing in the
centre of the north side, a shallow porch opposed to this at
the rear (and C19 lean-to cart-sheds, which are not of special
interest, added to the front on either side of the central
wing).
EXTERIOR: the wide 3-storey 3-window porch-wing has a
chamfered plinth, a depressed-arched wagon entrance flanked by
small chamfered one-light windows at ground floor and
1st-floor levels (all unglazed and most with vertical
cast-iron bars), coupled 2-light double-chamfered mullioned
windows in the centre of the 2nd floor (the left lacking the
mullion) also unglazed and with horizontal iron bars, and a
small one-light window above these; ridged gable coping with
kneelers; a large cruciform cast-iron finial (like a weather
vane); and, within the entry, a chamfered square-headed
doorway in each side, and harr-hung double doors with
cast-iron harr-pins and sockets. Its return sides have 2-light
mullioned windows to the upper level. The main range has a
chamfered plinth and some blocked slit-breathers at ground
floor level (both sides now covered by added cart sheds). Each
gable wall has 3 shippon doorways at ground floor, the central
doorway enlarged (and that at the west end flanked by C19
windows) and the outer ones with chamfered surrounds but now
blocked, a chamfered loading doorway in the centre of the
upper floor (that at the east end blocked), a vertical
owl-hole near the apex, and gable coping like that of the
porch.
INTERIOR: C19 bolted queen-post roof trusses; lofts to both
sides.
Forms group with Towneley Farmhouse approximately 50 metres

east (qv).
