Had a kind email from Worcester Archaeology after querying the 'probable post-medieval' statement that has appeared in the Warwickshire Historic Environment Record (HER):
Hi Jonathan.
I'm not sure where the 'probable post-medieval' date for the Warwickshire HER record came from! ... the indications are that was constructed sometime in the late 13th - 14th century ... We'll post a link once the analysis & report is completed ... all the comparable tithe barns in the region seem to date from around 1250-1350.
Rob Hedge.So, back to 1250-1400, which coincides with Frocester barn (built sometime between 1286 and 1306), which is of a comparable style.
