The hay barn from Ockley, Surrey is the most recent historic building to be erected at the museum. The main repairs to the timbers were carried out by the museum’s veteran carpenter. I was asked to assist the collections department with framing up the replacement timbers and erection of the frame. This took place early 2008. The barn will eventually house the museum’s newly restored Marshall Threashing drum and living wagon.

At preasant, the building awaits its new roof covering due to be put on this Autumn by the collections dept with help from volunteers.
