The east section has depleted framing, but retains storey posts, wall-plates and most of the clasped-purlin roof. One open truss employs reversed assembly, suggesting an early alteration. Good complete framing in higher section: close-studding with tension stud-bracing and middle-rail. One open truss has arch-bracing, the others have C19 bolted knees. Windbraced clasped purlin roof. Nearly all studs and many rafters are reused from a medieval building. The east section was in the process of conversion to a dwelling at date of survey. Listing NGR: TL9600360897
