Yewdale barn combines many of the features that can be found upon typical Lakeland barns of the 18th and 19th centuries.  On the ground floor there is a cow shed to accommodate up to four cows or oxen, a cart shed beyond a central arch, and a stable suitable for one horse.  There is also a chicken coop accessed from the cart shed.  The upper floor comprises an open loft for the storage of hay and grain.  The centre of the loft would have been used as a threshing floor and a winnowing door can be found opposite the double barn doors to provide a through draught. Upon the right gable there is a spinning gallery, accessed from steps at the rear of the barn.

Scale: 1/24th
Dimensions, inc. base: W 41.5 cm, D 35.5 cm, H 32 cm.
Total number of bays:  4

Oxendale barn is a smaller version of Yewdale that still combines many features found upon Lakeland farm buildings. On the ground floor there is a stable suitable for one horse and a cow shed to accommodate up to four cows or oxen.  As with Yewdale, the loft is an open area for the storage of hay and grain, but with an offset winnowing door and rear double barn doors. The spinning gallery lies across the front of the barn and is accessed from the loft.

Dimensions, inc. base: W 35.5 cm, D 35.5 cm, H 30.5 cm.
Total number of bays:  3
Price: fitted as shown with two simple candle lights in stable and cow shed     - £335
