4/30 Threshing barn 30m south west
of Fosters Farmhouse
GV II
Threshing barn and adjoining cartshed. Date of 1601 on the frame of the barn
to which "rebuilt 1848" has been added. Framed construction, clad in
weatherboarding; clay tile roof, gabled at ends. The adjoining cartshed is
also framed and weatherboarded with a clay tile roof, hipped at the east end.
It is probably a later addition.
Plan: Built on an east west axis, a 3-bay barn with opposed full-height
threshing doors in the centre and a north porch. The cartshed adjoins at the
east end and is entered on the north side.
Exterior: The barn has a lean-to porch on the north side, the cartshed has 2
large north entrances.
Interior: Tie beam, queen post and clasped purlin construction, originally
with concave braces between the jowled wall posts and tie beams, these
replaced with straight braces, presumably in 1848. The trusses have
intermediate birdsmouth ties. The scale of the 1848 rebuilding is difficult
to determine. Some of the wall framing is probably of this date replacing
braced timbers of larger scantling with the existing studs. A ridgeboard has
also been introduced. On the middle rail of the north wall, east of the porch
the date 1601 is carved. It appears to be genuine, as does the C19 date.
Interior of cartshed not inspected.
A traditional C17 agricultural building, still in agricultural use. Group
value with Fosters Farmhouse.
