Background
History
According to Historic England, Grange Barn is of "C12/early C13 origin". Grange Barn is about quarter of a mile from the site of Coggeshall Abbey, which was founded in 1140. Since the dissolution of the Abbey in the 1530s, most of its buildings have disappeared, but the barn remained in continual agricultural use up until 1960 when it was left derelict.
Architecture
The barn is 36.57 metres long, 13.71 metres wide and 10.67 metres high. For comparison, England's largest medieval barn, Harmondsworth Great Barn, is 58.55 metres long, 11.3 metres wide, and 11.9 metres high. The barn has a nave and two aisles. There are two midstreys (gabled porches) which would have provided access for wagons: these are 18th century.
Visiting
Grange Barn is open to the public with a display explaining the history of the Barn, as well as a collection of woodworking tools used by a local craftsman. It is available to hire for special events.
