Additions & Associated Buildings

Over the years, fashions, equipment and usage changed for barns as with every other building. Barns were adapted from arable to pastoral usage, lean-tos and out-shuts were added, extra floors and, granaries, hoists and hay-lofts were inserted.

Other farm, manorial and monastic buildings have also survived alongside the barns. These may include dovecotes, granaries, pigsties, cowsheds, wagon sheds, horse-gins, engine-houses, water-wheels as well as such infrastructure as canals, railways, walls and bridges. To the interested observer these all add to the interest of the story.
