mullioned some retaining cavetto mullions; 3 over 4 mullioned and transomed
window with chamfered light to right. Gabled wing breaks forward and has coping
with kneelers; 2-light window to left of doorway with segmental arched lintel
with chamfered surround leading to inner-porch with doorway set within the re-

Pennine Aisled Barns with King-Post Roofs", The Brigantian 3 (1974), (Journal

and wide tie-beam without struts. The former bressumer acts as one of the posts
on the opposite side to the fire-screen which has board and muntin panelling
with original settle support and chamfered heck-post with -remains of fire-hood
over the screen.. Closing truss to the hall is king post truss with 'A' struts
above close studded wall with remains of wattle infill; brattished spring-board
