Visit July 2017
Fire in July 2017. Most of strcture survives apart from the thatch and some common rafters. Floor was inserted into a barn - nothing to suggest that the building was an open hall. Simple frame with cranked braces to corner posts. Floor inserted using a large transverse principal with ogee and nicked chamfer stops. Very crude queen post roof with no collars or braces but supporting the purlins well enough. For further information see (S2).
S. Heywood (HES). 17 July 2017
