Description
Timber-framed buildings are a familiar feature of the landscape, but few of us have a chance to see beyond their picturesque surface. In reality, these structures were carefully planned and constructed, offering valuable insights into the lives of those who built and lived in them. English oak, a material renowned for its strength and quality, is a key component of these buildings. This book delves beneath the common image of 'black and white' houses, revealing the unique characteristics of timber-framed buildings and how they vary across different regions.
