Abstract: |
A programme of historic building recording at Westhorpe Farmhouse, 12 Westhorpe, Ashley, Leicestershire was undertaken in advance of proposed redevelopment. The farmhouse is a Grade II listed iron-stone building, likely to have been constructed in the latter part of the 17th century. The main aim of the work was to provide a record of the building, prior to the removal of the c1930s tin roof cover and the replacement of the thatch beneath. The original roof construction consists of a series of common rafters, formed of long ash poles, laid over the backs of the ridge piece and side purlins, fixed in place with timber pegs. The early thatch consisted of bundles of long wheat straw, tied to the rafters in a regular pattern and woven through with 'Norfolk' or water reed. |
