TOMKYNS LANE (Formerly Bird Lane) Upminster

Barn to South West of Great Tomkyns

(Formerly listed as Barn to North East of Great Tomkyns)

7.1.55

GV II*

Barn. Probably late C13 or C14, repaired and given porch in
about 1727. Timber-frame, weatherboarded but with traces of
original wattle and daub infil. Hipped thatch roof almost
reaching ground level. Three bays, with aisles and single
entrance opening into the east side of the central bay, in
line with the arcade posts. Arcade posts with well-cut jowled
heads and braces, passing braces to aisles and collar rafter
roof. Walling with regularly spaced studs and mid rail.
This barn is important as a very complete and well-documented
example of a barn with a pattern of carpenters' marks which
follow a circuit round the building instead of the more common
method of numbering each cross frame. The barn displays a
variety of unusual and archaic features, including
through-splayed and tabled scarf joints, and a reversal in the
position of the aisle wall plates relative to the aisle tie
beams.
