Cruck Barn at Leigh Court Farm is a timber-framed agricultural building of medieval origin located in Worcestershire. The structure exemplifies the cruck construction technique, whereby pairs of curved timber beams rise from ground level to support the roof, a method characteristic of medieval and early post-medieval building practice in England. The barn demonstrates the vernacular agricultural architecture that would have served the farming activities of its associated farmstead. As a surviving example of traditional timber construction, the building contributes to understanding medieval rural settlement patterns and building technology in the West Midlands region.
