North group: 4 parallel 2-storey ranges of varying length run east-west and are

timber-framed east bays with iron king posts and tie beams on vertical struts.
Western bays are alternating brick and timber-faced with similar openings to south

wall panel infilled with Flemish-bond grid with headers omitted to provide
ventilation. 3-bay timber-framed shed attached to 3 east bays of barn. 7-bay
