Leigh Court Barn is an outstanding example of English medieval carpentry, and the largest cruck framed structure in Britain. Built around 1325, it is over 42 metres long with 18 cruck blades - each made from a single oak tree.

This barn is the only surviving building from the manor of Leigh Court in Worcestershire, which belonged in the Middle Ages to the monks of Pershore Abbey.

Radiocarbon dating has shown that the timbers for the barn were felled in the spring of 1344, which supports the evidence of carpentry techniques that date the barn to the 14th century.

It is free of charge to visit and is managed by English Heritage.

Laidhay Croft Museum

Laidhay Croft is a 200 year old rush thatched Caithness longhouse. It is a typical example of the old style croft dwellings that were once a common feature of the Scottish landscape.

The Croft Museum consists of the longhouse, incorporating the dwelling, stable & byre at each end, a detached barn with its original cruck roof and a cart shed. Laidhay Croft comprises of 16 acres of arable, with rights over 15 acres of rough grazing. It came into the possession of the Bethune family in 1842 and stayed with them until 1968. The last person to live in it was William (Beil).

The building came up for sale in 1969 and was bought by Malcolm Cameron. Around this time, the proprietor of the Portland Arms Hotel, Lybster, suggested that the croft should be restored as a museum. The Laidhay Trust was set up in 1970 and the museum opened to the public in 1974.

Traditionally thatched and over two hundred years old , the humble Caithness longhouse , a dwelling, with the stable and byre at each end, the detached barn , these days more typically adorning a cruck tin lid - They are certainly ‘ Coorie’.

What Is Coorie? A traditional Scottish word meaning ‘To Snuggle’ or ‘Nestle’ and perhaps the Norse connection , similar to the Scandinavian concept of hygge and you’d certainly be snug and cosy in a longhouse.

Why not treat Dad this Father’s Day - we can send directly and add a card or personalised note with FREE U.K. postage.

7” diameter,sycamore and pyrography handcrafted by Maggie Irving - Turning Point - can be wall hung too.

I was happy to visit St Fagans Museum of History on 3 June 2022 again! Upon seeing Stryd Lydan Barn, a cruck and timber-framed barn, which dates from 1550, I decided to stay there to sketch this historic structure. I really liked the textured surfaces of the old wood. To capture the textures, I spent much time drawing the lines to depict the wood surfaces. I hope you enjoy my video!
