Wane House at Upper Trerew

Small early C17 stable. Rubble stone with gabled slate roof. S front is single-storey. Ground floor has entrance doorway (right) and C17 4-light diamond mullion with roll moulding. Opposing rear elevation is enclosed by C20 corrugated building at back. Attached to S gable is a C20 shed with corrugated iron roof, and attached to N gable a 2-bay shelter shed with slate roof.

The interior is most remarkable containing the smoke-blackened timbers and two exceptionally well- preserved cruck trusses of probably a 3-bay C16 hall-house. Both trusses have a saddle. Gable truss has mortice holes in soffit of collar, where timber wall studs formerly ran to lower tie beam. Mortice holes in the cruck blades of the opposing ‘open' truss show that it originally had a collar. Two tiers of trenched purlins. Ground floor, W wall has blocked window opening with massive oak sill, and signs of a blocked doorway (right).
