The medieval cruck barn at Arley Hall... built around 1468.
The cruck barn is to the left of the clock tower.... the Tudor section to the right is much newer.
It was constructed in 1604

hurray! you remembered! the inside of that cruck barn looks like the Ark! :) really cool! and almost as ancient! :)
a great first post for Barn Charm! I can't contribute that meme because no 'barns' in my territory. Love the architecture, those beams/struts wow; to have lasted so well for so long. Enjoy Grand Designs where I get to see those solid internals; lasting a lifetime ...and more. Great photographs Andrew.
belas fotos e uma linda reportagem

A great first post, love places like this.
Beautiful barn, a home sweet home.
Wow, what a fantastic old Barn. Great construction. It is amazing that it has lasted so long.
No doubt your contribution to Barn Charm will be the most different and definitely the oldest to grace the Barn Charm site. Wonderful Andrew.
Amazingly ancient.I've been in a few old pubs with 300 year old beams,but never seen any wooden building this old.
hermosoooooo gran foto, atractiva alineación de árboles muy buena.
Saludos Carmen
What a great place! I love seeing the inside structure, with the exposed beams. The clock tower and the trees really add to it's beauty!
Thanks for joining barn charm and sharing.
That is absolutely a gorgeous barn! Love it and the grounds it sits on. Great photos!
This is definitely a Barn "Charm" post!
How massive the beams look. How awesome for it to still be standing and a testament to the workmanship.
Well captured!
That place is amazing!
Awesome that it's still standing and that over all these centuries has been well kept!
A beautiful building. It looks to have been in receipt of some sympathetic restoration.
that is gorgeous. what great barns. lovely. (:
wow, that is amazing! beautiful!
Craftmanship at it's best. Great images Andrew.
Wowee, Andrew...a barn from the 1400s?? Amazing....and so is the great first photo. I love that!
Oh, Wow! Love the inside, love the outside...love the view leading into it. Wonderful.
Those of us from the 'new world' admire this ancient barn!
Hand hewn timbers and traditional joinery, few know how to do this anymore. Beautiful workmanship, thanks for sharing!
I have been doing our family history this past year and have spent a lot of time researching my father's side of the family as both of his parents came over from England....lovely photos...
A great post for Barn Charm...these shots are spectacular!
This is amazing... what beautiful photos and structures... the first photo with the internal structure is fantastic... Larry
Unbelievable! 1468? We have nothing anywhere near that old here & that's the oldest barn on Barn Charm to date!
Welcome & I'm so glad you linked up! What a beautiful barn, I'm just in awe of it.
Welcome to Tricia’s Barn Charm. You are going to love it. Your first post is beautiful. Love the different styles in the one barn. This must be one fabulous place to visit. Gorgeous scenery. I have now heard of Arley Hall and Gardens and I have not heard of crick barns, but I am going to do my research tonight. You have really stirred up my interest.genie
Well, that first shot makes me feel like I am walking into the belly of a whale! What a sight! I am amazed that anything that old and constructed of wood is still around! And what the heck is a "cruck?"
Wow what a fantastic addition to "barn charm' this post was -- quite a different look at a barn for most of us over on this side of the pond. I had to run for my Kindle dictionary to look up "cruck" and of course it makes perfect sense with your picture to illustrate.
Andrew, nice post and nice barn.
How thrilling to have buildings that old. Here, structures from 1850 are a really big deal.
