- Synopsis
- The manor of Barton Court is shown as five buildings, just above the river. The largest of the buildings is a three storey white house with a gabled red roof and large chimney. A large door and an idea of the timber framing and windows are painted in light brown. This house was built by Thomas Reade after his marriage in 1548 from stone taken from the tower of the old Abbey church. In front of the large house, on the left, is a smaller single storey white house with red roof and chimney. To the right of this single storey house are two circular dovecotes with pointed roofs, one painted cream and the other painted brown. Beneath the brown dovecote is a large white barn with red roof. An idea of the timber framing of the barn has been shown with brown lines. Behind the large house and barn are three individually painted trees. The 1st page is of a braille description, the second page is of a tactile image bordered by a thick line and shows the buildings of Barton Court, the river, the lock and the three trees. It is approximately the same size as the map. The same textures have been used as for the overview map with fine lines showing the detail on the buildings.
