Truss on left has stone-walled infill and king post with V struts. Central 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.
