Kingsbury Manorial Barn,
Hertfordshire

Kingsbury Manorial Barn is one of several surviving timber-framed, aisled barns which originally belonged to St. Alban’s Abbey. Although it lost one aisle (probably in the 18th century) it is still a fine building.  
The wagon porch is contemporary with the building of the barn in 1374, which is unusual as most of the wagon porches on early barns are later additions. The barn has a crown post roof with arched braces to the tie beams and arcade plate. The aisle posts stand on tie beams to the wall. The entire frame is supported by brick and flint walls. A small extension has been added at one end.

The barn was restored by the present owners in 2007. It is used for community events and is sometimes open during Heritage Open Days in September.
