Full Description
Barn of mature type, possibly built by Priory? Demolished in 1926, record derived from drawings and photographs. 130 ft long with 6 full bays. Assembly and scarfing normal throughout, proportions large and the main body unusually wide. The relatively low aisles, half-height rail with 2 intermediate posts per bay, the low set shores, the large braces to the crown-post and the moderately thick arch-braces, all suggest a fairly early date.
