Nice one Shuck, good to hear from you.
Thanks Rubex, nice to hear from you. I've been doing this for some time now lol. Only problem, my bloody tripod's bust!...... These were handheld.Really nice photos
I am amazed this is still standing . So nice to see it again in a well captured form....
It's standing because the carpenter who selected the oak trees for the framing was not only a craftsman, but he certainly knew his trees. His marks on this and some of the other buildings in the area indicate he was a busy man. Shame to see it in this state now, but towards the end of its habitable life it was a cold and damp place - just as many were/still are. There are so many pitfalls along the way when one tries to preserve/restore places like this - one can easily throw the money down, but try finding a suitably sized piece of unseasoned oak to replace a worm eaten main beam or the skilled labour to remove the old, fashion the new and refit. The skills are out there, but the good ones are in demand and thus busy.
