In the 1660s, Sir Daniel Fleming of Rydal Hall in the Lake District housed 44 cattle in his long bank barn at Low Park. The cattle faced the side walls and backed on to a central manure passage. In other bank barns in Cumbria the entrances, in the side walls, gave access to a cow-house, stable and cartshed; some 19th-century examples have four-horse stables, root houses (for storage of root crops for fodder) and feeding and dung passages for the cows.
