Jowled upright posts, some set in concrete padstones. Crown posts of square section with headbraces and curved braces from crownpost onto tiebeam. Some passing braces survive. 2 of the tie beams and many of the tops of the wallplates seem to be reused as they have a row of holes for joists. C18 roof replaces earlier roof of steeper pitch with collar beam and has ridgepiece, through purlins and rafters. Charlton Manor appeared in the Domesday Book as a holding of the Abbey of Fecamp. It was seized in 1414 when the alien priories were dissolved and remained with Syon Abbey until the Dissolution (1539).
