Description: | The building is an 18th or 19th century construction with a timber frame supporting a queen post roof. The timber facing between the timber wall frames has now mainly been replaced with brickwork. On the north side, facing Cippenham Lane, three large projecting porches were constructed to allow easy access for loaded farm wagons. In the 18th century a wooden shed was constructed at the side to house a stationary steam engine to power the threshing machine in the barn.
On the Ordnance map the Great Barn is now listed as ' Studios'. The Long Barn is now used as a Public House. There has been a farm recorded on this site from at least 1480. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Rights holder: | Slough Library | Subjects: | Cippenham Court Farmhouse ; Cippenham Court Farm ; Long Barn ; Great Barn Farm buildings ; Farms and farming ; Barns ; Farms & farming | Temporal: | start=1780-01-01; end=1990-01-01; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Reg Harrison | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
