HILDENBOROUGH PHILPOTS LANE (south side) TQ 54 NE 5/187 Barn immediately west - of Old House
II
Barn. Probably early C17. Framed construction, clad in weatherboarding; peg- tile roof.
Plan: A 3-bay barn, facing north, the roof carried down as a catslide over a rear left (south east) outshut, which may be integral, later lean-to at west end. The barn has full height double doors on the north side in the centre. The left (east) end is lofted, the loft probably secondary. Walls of horizontal boarding enclose a small chamber with a lean-to roof within the loft space. The chamber is accessible only from the rear left outshut.
Exterior: Paired doors to the north entrance. 2 doors on the left (east) return, one into a woodstore below the loft, the other into the outshut. North door to right (west) end lean-to. Roof gabled at the left (east) end, half-hipped at the right end.
Interior: 2 tie-beam trusses of massive s; ntling with raking queen struts clasped purlins and large arch braces between, all posts and tie-beams. There is a half-tier of curved wind bracing below the clasped purlin. The west wall of the barn is clad with substantial split logs (now within the lean-to addition). The loft at the east end includes a curious weatherboarded chamber with its own lean-to clay roof below the barn roof. The chamber is enclosed on 3 sides, the open side facing into the outshut. The function of this structure is uncertain, it may have been a granary.
An interesting C17 agricultural building. Group value with Old House (q.v.).
