NHER 51888 (Building record) - Page's Farm Barn, Wood Dalling Road

April 2008. Building Survey.
18th century barn constructed from four different brick types including early 18th century bricks laid in flemish bond, re-used bricks characterised by damaged edges and thick joints, waster bricks laid on edge in a rough manner used on the internal faces and late 18th century 'new' bricks. At the eastern end of the barn facing the road is a fine pair of former honeycomb ventilation openings beneath segmental arches with decorative use of blackened headers. Associated with this are the remains of two typical paltbands on the corners of the gable ends. The platbands and the abrupt change in brickwork on the south side indicate that a fine wall rose to the full height of the building but suffered damage. The western end of the barn was completed with 'new' later 18th century brick, and incorporated two pairs of large rectangular honeycomb ventilation openings. The same brick was used to construct the gable ends, and a dentil cornice was added at the same time. The roof is a typical 18th century and can be dated to the second half.
