Description

Timber-framed Buildings: A Guide to Britain's Heritage This beautifully illustrated guide explores the history and construction of timber-framed buildings in Britain, from medieval times to the nineteenth century. With a focus on regional variations in style and social status, the book delves into the techniques used to build these distinctive structures. The majority of timber-framed buildings are houses, but they also feature in shops, churches, town halls, and farm buildings. The guide provides an overview of how these buildings have been treated over time and offers practical advice on identifying concealed timber-framing behind later work. With its wealth of color photographs, this book is an ideal primer for anyone interested in timber-framed buildings who wants to explore them further.
