pitches with 'Roman' tiles. Jowled arcade posts, arched braces to tiebeams and
arcade plates, splayed scarfs with undersquinted butts in WSW arcade plate,
face-halved and bladed scarfs in ENE arcade plate. Unjowled posts and primary
straight bracing in aisle walls (rebuilt in C18 or later). Part of ENE aisle

form, although some timbers have been replaced in the course of later repairs.
