aisle posts with curved braces to aisle-plates and tie-beams; south aisle mid-rail
has mortice in soffit for panelling below and retains studs with wattle and daub

truss has king-post sawn off and replaced by queen struts. Truss against cross-wing
has mortices for panelling and, above tie-beam, for both V and upright struts, the
king-post again sawn off. The different sets of mortices show the truss was closed
in two different ways during its history. There is a gap between this truss and
the studding of the cross-wing wall which suggests 2 different builds. Cross-wing:
in rear room lateral chamfered quoined fireplace with massive lintel.
