Full Description

Cruck barn and outbuildings at Egstow Hall, Brassington Lane, Tupton, originally a 15th century building. 'Barn at Egstow Hall with three sets of "elbow" crucks, as raised cruck frames with collars, spurs and plinths.' (1-3) 'Eight core samples were taken from the timbers of the cruck barn at Egstow Hall in September 1995 in order to carry out tree ring dating. However, none of these cross-matched with the Reference Chronologies and the building therefore remains undated.'
