This beautiful, historic oak roof structure is fully exposed and celebrated in Back to the Garden - a farm shop, deli & café, in a converted Threshing Barn in North Norfolk.
The trusses are unusual in that they have no diagonal struts, which would otherwise make this what is known as a ‘Queen Post’ arrangement. Mortice & tenon joints form the connections. Brick and lime in-fills between a brick framework of piers and ring beam at high level, and lower down the vast walls, are in-fills of brick and flint.
It’s a sumptuous fabric of historic local materials - oak, brick, lime and flint.
