Summary
The Barn is a listed building grade II, in a semi-dilapidated state, used for storage, including agricultural implements. The East Midlands Earth Structures Society (EMESS) has the permission of the owner to carry out the repairs. Additionally, these repairs being to a listed building are being carried out on a like-for-like basis, and the Society has been given the agreement of the local authority to carry them out. If the repairs did not match the original construction, then listed building consent would be required.
The building has become the focus of hands-on training days which EMESS organises and runs, usually twice a year.

Survey
A survey of the building was carried out by Arjun Chopra and Kritika Golchha, two students from the School of Architecture & Design, University of Lincoln, following a consultation with two retired architect members of The East Midlands Earth Structures Society (EMESS). The building has been recorded by Arjun Chopra to this excellent level overall, which will allow for even more detailed surveying to be done in the future for various other purposes. For instance, the various timber joints could be surveyed individually, and their locations keyed into the present overall drawings. In addition, any carpenter’s marks could be sought and recorded in the same way. The degree by which the building’s structure has moved away from the vertical could be recorded. The areas and dates of the various modern repairs could be included, in order to show that the repairs are being carried out in accordance with the best conservation practice. Thoughts about further repairs, and possibly the stabilising of the structure, could be assessed on the basis of this survey.
