Barn Building 1660

I walk past this building to get to church it's on an awful corner. Signs on it front and back say 1660 . It is the barn. I have looked it up on the internet and found this from a history trail

Club House Farm, together with its barn, is situated at the junction of Wigan Road with Church Lane and is a listed building dating from 1660. It was originally part of the Standish Estate. The name possibly derives from the club shape of the Papal coat of arms key’s of St. Peter which are no longer visible or, alternatively, the place where villagers made visits in the 19th century to make payment to various clubs to cover for sickness and burials and to receive relief during hard times.


Kate came over and we went out for a delicious Sunday lunch. I haven't seen her since before Christmas  it was lovely to have a catchup.
