Manor Farm barn, Winterborne Clenston - Dorset (UA)

Huge late C16 tithe barn part used for storage. The hammerbeam roof may have been reused from a monastic building at Milton Abbey. Partial roof collapse resulted in Historic England funding the erection of scaffolding as a temporary roof support. These repair works were completed in 2008, but there has been no further progress and the building is now rapidly deteriorating with many of the roof tiles missing and large holes visible in the roof.
