Abstract
Time and chance: modelling the attrition of old houses
C R J Currie
1 - 9
Discusses models of the effects of piecemeal rebuilding of groups of old houses as a result of fire and other factors, and uses the models to test the validity of historical inferences commonly made from regional variations in survival. It is shown that fire may be a more significant cause of destruction than was previously thought . . . and that other causes of destruction can be modelled in the same way. Vernacular thresholds and apparent waves of rebuilding may be illusions caused by the differential attrition of early buildings following a change in materials or style. Au (abr)
Clay lump in south Norfolk: observations and recollections

The influence of wind on the orientation of threshing barns
A T Kenworthy
19 - 23
Plots the orientation of thirty-six barns built for the purposes of threshing and winnowing grain crops, and adds air velocity coefficients across the threshing floor. The areas studied were Wharfedale (Yorks) and W Cumbria, with a control set of field barns in another area. It is postulated that the prevailing winds governed the orientation.
