Built around 1650 using timbers from an earlier cruck barn, the magnificent aisled barn was used to store hay, thresh corn, stable oxen and as a coachhouse. It has been restored and now functions as an Information Centre. Apparently it houses a colony of
Natterer's bats, which is a relatively rare species, but I guess they would have been asleep when I was there as I didn't see any.
Those timbers could tell a tale or two...
