Jowled posts, primary straight bracing in studded walls. The right bay of the
main range has a chamfered axial beam with a lamb's tongue stop on one side, a
similar stop with a notch on the other side of the same end. The other beam,
projecting at the front and inserted at the bay post, is chamfered with lamb's
tongue stops. Plain joists of vertical section, sand-blasted. Clasped purlin
roof. In the left wing the beam projecting through the front wall is chamfered
