No purlin visible. We have collar ties visible at ceiling height though.
Could it just be roof rafters and collar ties?

Oh yeah, if the rafters are beefy, or not very long, or the pitch is steep, or the roofing material is light, or ...
Many ways to skin a cat.Shallow pitch with heavy tiles/slates needs more structure.
I’ve taken one pair of ties out in my loft but I’ve built really solid/structural shelving from the purlins down so I’m not worried.

Yeah, I agree these aren’t structural to the roof.
Fine to remove IMO.
Is there a purlin visible the other side of the knee wall? Any cross ties?
I’m just wondering how the roof is constructed- there are so many ways and regional variations.
