Sykes Barns

Ykes Barns were originally part of the working farm, known as Cheshire Farm with some parts of the house and barns dating back 300 years. Cheshire Farm's, House and Gardens including some derelict barns, were purchased by local builder Tom Sykes in the late 80's. Seeped in history there are many tales surrounding the site. During the Coventry Blitz when 500 bombers massed on nearby Coventry for the largest air raid to date, the barns were hit by an incendiary device, when the farmer had left a lamp on in the barn whilst he had a cow calving.
