Understanding Historic Timber Frames
What Can We Learn From An Old English Barn?
A one day workshop
The course:
This workshop offers a group of 16 the rare opportunity to discover and experience the genius and enduring legacy of English timber frame construction, in a Medieval timber frame building.
Combining theory and practice, the course will use the Lordship Barn - a 15th century Grade II* listed masterpiece of English vernacular architecture - as its primary resource.
Through the study of ancient craft techniques and methods, participants will gain valuable knowledge and skills.
