On the east side of the village street, north of Charity Farm House, at the edge of the flood-plain of the River Test. The barn is Grade II listed, the listing text suggesting a 17th or 18th century date http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-140208-barn-10-metres-north-of-charity-farm-hou. Many similar buildings survive across the southern counties, but most have had their original thatch replaced by tiles or slates. See, for instance: Image (on the Grain peninsula, North Kent) or Image (near Winchester).
