How to date timber-framed buildings in the South East
Thursday 19 September 2024
Using our exhibit buildings from the South East, participants learn how to investigate stylistic evidence including the number, position and arrangement of timbers to date buildings from the late 1300s to the 1900s.
The day provides a wonderful opportunity to investigate different types of timber-framed buildings and will include:
- Learning how to spot the differences between a crown post and a king post.
- Seeing how radically roofs change between the medieval and Georgian periods.
- Watching purlin(s) appear and disappear, and observing how braces change shape and length becoming concealed over the centuries.
- Marvel at the skill of the carpenters and their work, and how their tools and techniques evolved to meet the changing needs of their customers.
