Building record 1834/1/2 - Barn at Brassey Green

Please read our .

Summary

Barn at Brassey Green Hall, Huxley Lane. 17th century. Timber framed with brick infill and corrugated asbestos sheeting cover and slate roof. Two storeys, probably originally one. 19th century hay barn adjoins at right. Interior: Four trusses with angle braces and Queen posts. Wood was in plentiful supply as a building material in Britain until the 17th century. It was therefore the most practical material for house building. Timber framed buildings consist of a wooden framework (usually oak) that was infilled to create solid walls. Infill material used included wattle and daub, lath and plaster, brick and weather board. Brick nogging, (brick infill) was often used in the 17th and 18th centuries to replace earlier wattle and daub or lath and plaster infill as it was longer lasting.
