3-bay hall. C20 plank double doors. Interior: left end wall has 8 panels of

to centre when aisle posts were inserted to support long tie beam; queen-post

above with clasped purlins, diminishing principals and wind braces. Right spere
truss: of similar construction, but lower aisled part has arch-braced aisle

rebuilt the east end of the church (q.v.) in the Decorated style c.1320-40.
Church Farm was acquired by All Souls College from Abingdon Abbey in 1340.
Morrey and Smith date the barn to between 1350 and 1440.
