Monument record 2237 - Farm Buildings at Redacre Hall, Simpson Lane

Range of farm buildings surrounding courtyard at Redacre Hall. Barn probably late C16/ early C17 but refurbished early C19 when incorporated into a courtyard of model farmbuildings. Three-bay, two-storey structure of which the bay posts, wall plates and trusses of tiebeam, collar and two diagonal struts survive. Walling now in sandstone rubble. Opposed entrances under elliptical arches in central bay. A beam dated 1603 is reported as being removed in mid C20. Very similar model farmbuildings can be seen at Birchencliff Farmhouse, off Shrigley Road (SJ 94858053) built for Sir William Turner c.1825 (1).
