Notes about this historic site

1 Motton’s Barn originally comprised a three-bay, box-framed building composed of square studded walls with straight braces in the corners. The frame was built from oak, with brick-nogged infill panels. It is suggested that these may have been originally wattle and daub infill. The barn had partially collapsed in 199, and was subsequently flattened by a storm in 2000. The barn was part reerected, not successfully and a building recording was carried out, followed by a watching brief as it was removed from the site.
