Abstract
The polite threshold in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Britain
Adrian Green
1 - 9
Discusses the role of architecture in creating and maintaining 'polite society', in particular discussing the significance of the contrast between vernacular and polite architecture. PP-B
Crossing boundaries; revisiting the thresholds of vernacular architectu...
Daniel Maudlin
10 - 14
Discusses and questions the boundaries of vernacular architecture as conceived, interpreted and reinterpreted since the late eighteenth century. The activities and boundaries of the Vernacular Architecture Group are considered in the context of work in other fields also concerned with architecture and the vernacular. Argues for a broad understanding of vernacular architecture as an inclusive social study that is not necessarily restricted by boundaries of time and place.
Vernacular parallels; brochs and blackhouses
George Geddes
15 - 27
Presents a model where aspects of use, materials and design in brochs are explored from a perspective informed by the study of blackhouses built in the same region. Without proposing a simplistic link between the two, evidence is argued to suggest that the respective builders may have responded to the challenging environment with similar solutions and, furthermore, that we can look at the wealth of information for post-medieval building techniques to help illuminate the buildings of prehistory.
'The unmistakable fashion of the time'?; dating Flore's House at Oakham, Rutland
Nick Hill
28 - 36
Reports on a detailed survey of the house, noting a tree-ring date for the north crosswing of 1659, earlier than its previous estimated date of c. 1500. PP-B
The distribution and dating of Wealden houses
Nat W Alcock
37 - 44
A gazetteer of Wealden houses compiled from information provided by Vernacular Architecture Group members. The locations of the houses are mapped and correlated with settlement character, and the distinction between rural and urban Wealden houses reiterated. The forty Wealden houses dated by dendrochronology are also mapped and discussed.
A second terrace of crucks in Much Wenlock, Shropshire
Madge Moran
45 - 50
Six bays survive of a terrace of crucks at 16'“18A High Street, although numbering on the trusses indicates that it originally had eight bays. Investigation has revealed a purpose-built row of single-bay '” or possibly two-bay '” dwellings open to the roof and originally heated with open hearths. It is suggested that the similarity between the structures and known medieval almshouses may strengthen the possibility that either or both rows had an eleemosynary purpose.
The lexis of building in wood in bilingual medieval England
William Sayers
51 - 58
Discusses the Anglo-Norman French and Middle English vocabulary needed for the construction of wooden buildings, based on manuscript sources. PP-B
The Sunderland cottage; 'the favourite and typical dwelling of the skilled...
Michael Andrew Johnson
59 - 74
Discusses the development of this low-cost building type, developed as a response to the influx of people into towns and cities during the Industrial Revolution. Argues that they were being built much later than previously imagined. Au/PP-B
