England has a magnificent heritage of timber-framed buildings. The oldest of these date from the thirteenth century and the number increases to reach its peak in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries but continues well into the early nineteenth century. In the course of 600 years, many splendid examples of our timber-framed buildings have sadly, yet inevitably, been destroyed but such is the wealth of our legacy that a great many of the finest examples still survive. Highly prized today, an increasing number have been lovingly restored to their original condition. The majority of these buildings are houses and cottages, but timber was widely used in all types of buildings including churches, guild-halls, town halls, inns, shops, farm and industrial buildings and many others. All of these are detailed and profusely illustrated with the author's own delightful pen-and-ink drawings. He also shows how these intricate structures were assembled and identifies the regional characteristics and architectural features which represent an integral part of the history and charm of these fine old buildings. A classic study of these ancient buildings. Seller Inventory # 003230
