§ Mr. Cormackasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will take steps to designate Grange Farm Barn, Coggleshall, Essex, as a grade I 183W rather than a grade II listed building; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. ShoreThe barn is listed as grade II*. I do not consider that upgrading to grade I would be justified.
I think that the barn's future is a problem best sorted out by the local people and local authorities. I am prepared to consider making a grant towards the cost of either repairing the barn on its present site or of dismantling and re-erecting it elsewhere.
