recessed square tablet to north gable. Interior has re-used timber-framing
for side walls forming two unequal panels between plinth and wall-plate
formerly to take weatherboarding; triple angle strut trusses which have
been re-used; beneath the trusses to the threshing floor are low cross-
walls carrying sill beams from which rise angle struts to those which
support the tie-beams from the wall-frames; the lower angle struts are
also tied back to the wall-frames by pegged horizontal members. Included
