Turnastone Court Cow House

 

Recent brick cow house to the east of the northern barn. The cow house is separated into two parts by an internal north-south brick wall. To the west is a animal pen with a loft over. To the east is a room that is divided by a central walkway that separates two animal pens with mangers. The mangers are built into the brick walls of the walkway. The loft of the east pen is entered from a wooden ladder at the east end of the walkway.

The east room is entered by a door from the threshing bay of the north barn and has a window on the south side. The west pens have a door and two windows on the south side and two doors on the east side.

The north-east corner has a possible building break. The front (north) wall of the building is constructed of a different brick type to the cow house and is possible the older.

The east gable end of the cow house. A construction break can be seen on the south-east corner (on the left of the photo) of the building.
