Edge-halved scarf joint with bridled butts, in wallplate. Inclined queen-struts in clasped-purlin roof. Similar W range structurally separate, retains 2 bays of heavy floor structure. Roof renewed with inclined queen-posts, and squint-butted scarf. Double doors to S bay made from engraved (? temporary) memorial boards with groups of names annually from 1918 to 1920.
