SN 98450245; SO 10659215, 12609340. On timber-framed houses in Wales, with two distribution maps, one of Welsh examples, the other of houses with ornate roofs. Ystradfaelog is the pure Montgomeryshire regional house, with timber in large squares and a chimney inserted opposite the entry in a fairly late open hall. The Bryn (1660) and Lower Gwestydd (1684) also have the central chimney opposite the entry, a pattern commoner in lowland England than in Wales. The problem of vernacular architecture in Montgomeryshire is that conspicuous renaissance external ornament in late 17th cent follows a medieval period with no ornate roofs. Only the arch-braced truss is known in the county though they are common in NE Wales, one in Flintshire being as late as 1642. The late Stuart prosperity of Montgomeryshire may derive from the migration of the woollen industry from S Wales into the Severn Valley. The distribution of Welsh timber-framed houses is significant; they are commoner on the northern border than the southern, and in SW Wales there are none (see also 69/568). M B-E |
