Description
A view of the timber trusses and arch braces of the ceiling at Christ Church, Claremont, in Western Australia. The ceiling of the church is comprised of tongue and groove pine boards. It is supported by timber crucks extending from corbels on the walls between the arcading. The curved timbers intersect to form functional, but also decorative, arch-braces. Arches roof trusses were a common feature of medieval architecture.
