The barn measuring some 138 feet long by 40 feet wide is of timber framed construction clad in horizontal clapboards and roofed in thatch. It was built in the mid fifteenth century as part of the much older Upminster Hall farm. The manor was given to the Abbey of Waltham by Lord Harold a few years before the Norman conquest took place. The barn is now home to a museum of country life. (note the rooster on the cart)
