Abstract (en)

Evidence suggests that the great barn at Vaynol Park in north Wales was built to reflect the status and ambitions of the owner of the Vaynor Estate in 1605. However, the barn itself raises questions relating to the finances of the Caernarfonshire gentry and the state of local agriculture at that time. A study of its physical form in relation to the social and economic context in which it was built suggests an expanding estate and substantial 17th-c. home farm.
