17 Century Aisled Barn

Unfortunately I was not able to get inside to photograph its construction,
The name derives from the aisled halls of the Saxons and the stone-built aisled buildings of the Roman's. Aisled timber framed barns are the carpenter's equivalent of the medieval cathedral and reached a high level of skill and sophistication.

What a lovely old building. Was the raised area and steps used for putting milk/cream cans out for collection?

[Lena Nau]

Beautiful textures and colours

[Myrna O'Hara]

Really cool. So the steps must have helped people get onto their horses and into carriages?

[Lou Ann]

Oh my, such history, Romans! Saxons! A marvelous style of architecture.

[Babs]

What a fabulous building. I wonder if our modern day buildings will still be around as long as this one has been.

[Henri Russell]

Really neat architecture. I would love to see the inside. It is in really great condition. Is it still in use. It may be a museum.
