Thanks for your input. I was intriqued upon finding these barns. This forum is just what I was looking for, and how great that you are from England. I suspected this style to be English, but you say it is likley not...
As far as evidence on date range, what do you suggest? I could revisit... perhaps pull a nail to see if it is forged or cut.. or research deeds. I assume barns are often not listed on deeds.
I do want to help define Yankee building practices here, as you suggest.
Any other folks out there who have seen this style of bent construction... that is, w/ no continuous top plate?
