from the west wall side - girt, with five studs per bay of which the central stud is
principal, curved wind-braces let into inner surfaces and spiked and confined to the
returns and every alternate bay. Posts unusually heavy and jowled, with obtusely pitched
tie beam braces with as many as eight pegs to each chase-mortise Roof with queen-posts

the lower side - purlin-curved wind braces in each pitch. All principal timbers stop-
chamfered. The midstrey retains Great Doors, much repaired and proberbly C18, it has
