How To Read A Historic House Explore. Learn. Conserve
Organised by : Weald and Downland Living Museum
Houses that are lived in change over time, responding to the needs of the occupants. To be a house detective and work backwards, to discover an earlier form, is often painstaking work. This weekend focusses on some features that evolved over time that are useful to understand when doing such a project, as well as thinking about materials available. From chimneys, to fireplaces and doorways, roofing materials and other construction materials, short talks and displays will give information on different elements and a chance to discuss with experts.
