'(7) Chestnut Farm ... Near by, on the N. of the adjacent farmyard is a late 18th-century Barn with walls partly of reused Greensand ashlar and partly of brickwork ; the N. and S. walls are strengthened by two-stage brick buttresses with weathered offsets ; the N. side has a transeptal exit bay. The barn roof has collared trusses supporting two purlins on each side ; curved braces resting on ledges in the brick walls meet each principal at the level of the lower purlins. A range of Farm Buildings on the S. of the farmyard, constructed of materials similar to those of the barn, has a date-stone of 1790.'
