NAR SS77NE3

The barn at Sker is a fine eighteenth century building and is mentioned in 1782. It has shallow central porches with cambered brick openings on each long side and a flagged threshing floor.
The barn forms the northern part of a range of farmbuildings associated with the sixteenth century & later mansion (NPRN 19972) on the site of a medieval monastic grange (NPRN 19971). The southern part of the range is a farrowing house, probably seventeenth century, modified in the eighteenth. The southern gable wall retains fabric from a lost medieval building to the south.
