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.

@RickGaehl Perhaps we only see a small percentage that stood the test of time? Did everyone just make it up and hope?

@adingbatponder @RickGaehl I'm thinking bad designers were crushed when their buildings collapsed on top of them. Good designers lived to pass their designs and their buildings into the next generation. The medieval version of the #DarwinAward
