Long Furlong Barn is deeply entwined with the history of the Jenkin family, now in its 4th generation, who have been stewards of the surrounding countryside since 1912. Originally built in 1880, Long Furlong Barn echoes the architectural style of a medieval Tithe Barn, its unique design earning recognition as a grade 2 listed building by English Heritage. Once a crucial space for threshing corn by hand, The Granary witnessed the evolution of agricultural practices into the 19th century. Its expansive doors, a nod to the bygone era, stand as a testament to the laborious process of separating grain from straw. Long Furlong Barn, with its architectural charm and agricultural significance, narrates a story that extends beyond the confines of time, connecting generations through their enduring commitment to the land.
