Appraisal
This corn shed, possibly formerly associated with the Beaulieu estate, displays high quality materials in the construction of a utilitarian but attractive structure. The ventilators on the roof ridge contribute to its interest and it serves as a valuable reminder of the role of agriculture in nineteenth century society.
