This paper discusses a group of roof types found in agricultural buildings, mainly in barns in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and South Oxfordshire. The common feature is a truss with an angled member rising from the tiebeam to the collar for which the generic term ‘cranked inner principal’ is proposed. The various roof structures associated with these and similar timbers are discussed. An attempt is made to identify the date range of the cranked inner principal, and to suggest reasons why it was used. The distribution of known examples is discussed in relation to type W cruck apexes
