Abstract: |
Removal of lead sheeting and two phases of counterboarding from the roof of Dunster Castle during the Autumn and Winter of 2006 prior to repairs undertaken in 2008, revealed a minimum of six separate roof structures representing c.five phases of roof construction between the 17th and the 20th century. The most significant of these are a flat roof, possibly of three sub-phases, dated to c. AD1611; their conversion into king post trusses in c. AD1728; and the insertion of wrought iron 'I' beams in c. 1865-72 probably under the supervision of the architect Anthony Salvin. |
