The location provided by (1) is very inaccurate. The location of the North Barn has been identified (see CHER 611/1/2). The description from the Department of the Environment HHR (Historic Houses Register?) from 1963 (Golborne Urban District Aug 1963 3) “…a sixteenth century complex of buildings on three sides of yard…”. This would suggest that the South Barn was located to its south and corresponds with a building depicted extant at this location until the late 1980s, early 1990s. Listed building consent (84/15589) was granted for the demolition of the barn in 1984.
