building of oak, the exterior clad in flint with red brick dressings and 1 row
of ventilation slits. Half-hipped plain tiled roof. 3 cart entrances with
double doors. Interior is aisled to the north-side. Eastern 8 bays have roof
with angled queen struts, staggered purlins and no ridgepiece, the western 6
bays have a queen post roof with through purlins and ridgepiece and the
timbers are held together by iron ties. All aisle posts are on padstones.
The end 2 bays to the west of the early C18 part have 2 curious aisle posts
which are flat at the rear and curved to the front with carved capitals and
grooving. These may be reused parts from a ship or a mill fire shaft as the
shape is quite unknown either in towns or domestic architecture. Angular
jowled posts to cart entrances.
