The following quote gives you an indication of the history of the barn.

"It is understood that a farm has existed on the site of Longbow Barns since Saxon times which was listed in the Domesday Book and continued to be a working farm until 1974 when College Way was constructed. It is also believed that the 'Lord of Norton' occupied the farm in Norman times and it formed the centre of the Townstal community which was of greater importance in Saxon times because the water margins were then still at risk from Viking raids. The mediaeval barns were altered in Elizabethan times according to English Heritage. The larger barn originally consisted of round stone pillars which would have been boarded in at first floor level and open on the ground floor. The Elizabethan additions consisted of constructing archways between the pillars and stonework above and Owlway windows were constructed in the first floor stonework to encourage owls to occupy the upper floor where grain would have been stored."
