{3} Historic building assessment of the roof in order to inform development proposals. The building had clearly been re-roofed at least twice in its history. It initially carried thatching, but had since been altered and now has a slate roof. The rafters, battens and some of the purlins had been replaced, and additional purlins had been added where necessary. The original roof pitch remains unaltered. There was roofing felt on one side only.
