This easy-reference guide is packed with information and illustrations, explaining everything you need to know about the timber framed buildings we find throughout British towns and the countryside.
Using his own drawings, diagrams and photographs, Trevor Yorke takes the reader through the story of these buildings from the year 1200 to the present day - from medieval halls and grand houses, to picturesque cottages and barns.
You'll find out about the challenging technology behind the construction of timber framed buildings, how they have changed over the years, what they originally looked like and the details by which we can date them.
How were they made? Who made them? How was the timber produced? How do we distinguish between timber framed buildings from different periods in history? What features should we be looking for? All these questions and more are answered in this book.
And if you want to continue your exploration of the subject, at the end of the book you'll find a list of places to visit.
