After we had visited the barn near Peasemore House, we went to the parish church St. Barnabas. From there we drove out of the village and spotted another fine barn at Prince’s Farm.
The builders who were working on the house had also done the barn restoration and allowed me to photograph it. It was quite common for thatched barns to have tiles round the eaves to protect the tthatch from sparks from the traction engines which powered the threshing machines at harvest time.
It is similar in style and date to the one near Peasemore house, but smaller. It is another example of private owners preserving our rural heritage.
