TITHE BARN 50 METRES SOUTH WEST OF MONK FARMHOUSE - Allendale - List Entry
-
Description
Barn, perhaps C17 reconstructed in C18 or early Cl9. Stone with slate roof, 4 bays. Side walls have a vertical pair of ventilation slits to each bay and threshing doors in the third bay from the south-west. North-west door now blocked. North-east gable end has 2 tiers of 3 ventilation slits and rectangular opening in the gable. South-west end has large C20 opening. Interior divided by 3 cruck trusses, the blades springing from stone corbels 1.5m above the floor. Each truss has a collar and carries 2 purlins on each roof slope. Replaced ridge piece. Evidence of removed tie-beams and re-set collars indicates that the cruck frame is perhaps re-used from an earlier structure. An interesting vernacular building type and a rare survival in this part of the country.... -
