The Cross Barn
The Cross Barn at Odiham, built in 1532 and listed Grade II, is the earliest agricultural building built of brick in Hampshire.
Originally the manorial barn of Odiham Place, it was latterly one of the principal buildings of Palace Gate Farm, formerly called Place Gate Farm.This pencil drawing shows the Cross Barn as it was before redevelopment at the end of the Twentieth Century. It is one of a collection of drawings by the late Ray Millard, a resident of Odiham.
He bequeathed his collection to the Odiham Society. It is with permission of the Society that this drawing is published here.
The Cross Barn (this photo shows the Barn as it is today) could only have been built for someone of considerable wealth and status.
