18th century barn originally from Hambrook in Sussex now located at the Weald and Downland Museum. This type of barn was common in West Sussex and eastern Hampshire. The tall main doors lead onto the threshing floor, on which sheaves of corn were hand-threshed by flail. The rest of the barn was used to store the unthreshed crop and the threshed straw.
