Our Story
The Granary was built of limestone in C 1850. This being a two storey building was typical of larger farms. Its function was to house working horses on the farm and store animal food/grain – hence the name “The Granary”.
The grain was stored in the loft – now the main bedroom which was funnelled down a trap through the ceiling – now the sitting room, where it was rolled to make it more digestible for animals.
The open plan area housed working horses and ponies. Ventilation for these livestock came through the slit windows.
The wide arched open entrance – currently the front door allowed access for the carts and machinery.
