Just look at this amazing roof structure.
This is Great Coxwell Barn - near Faringdon, in Oxfordshire . It was built in about 1300 to serve the farming interests of a monastery many miles away.
One can only marvel at the woodworking skills of those medieval carpenters, over 700 years ago.
William Morris was so impressed he took most of his visitors to nearby Kelmscott Manor to see it.

This reminds me of Japanese carpentry from the same era ... but there is no way those carpenters could have known anything about each other. Convergent problem solving in wood I suppose.
