Little has been written about the development of roof trusses from the end of the Middle Ages onwards. This article traces their development in farm buildings in part of Staffordshire from the early seventeenth to the late nineteenth century, noting, inter alia, the change from vernacular to more polite forms of construction. It defines each truss type without taking account of purlin positions or the presence of a ridge member, and it differentiates two truss types which are often confused
