 repairing old wooden roof

I have a 200 year old outbuilding - stone and mud walls - wooden roof.
The beam at the base of the roof's "A" has rotted and the weight of the roof is now pushing out the walls. To replace this beam can I simply bolt a new beam to the bases of the down beams of the "A"? Or do I need to attach the beam in a special way? I am sorry to be so untechnical but all this is very new to me. The matter is urgent because the pushed out wall is now unprotected from rain and has partially collapsed into the roadway!

Dave,
many thanks - I'll get some pictures and post them - I think you're right - I need to have a good think before I do anything - trouble is I live in rural France and it's well nigh impossible to get workmen so I guess it'll be up to me!
Incidentally can you tell me how I can attach a digital photo to a message?
Brendan
