Listed barn by The Grange The Grade II listed barn now serves as an agricultural store and dates from C16.  It has red brick walls, an east gable and a half-hipped thatched roof, and C20 square-headed double sliding doors in the north and south walls and a large C20 door opening in its east gable.  The interior comprises five structural bays of aisle posts with jowled tops supporting arch-braced tie beams and longitudinal aisle plates and reverse arch braces between the aisle posts and plate. Short outshut-ties with straight braces to posts are probably the remains of passing braces from the earlier external walls.
