This paper provides a summary of some of the key findings of a volunteer project undertaken by the Yorkshire Vernacular Buildings Study Group as part of Historic England’s early fabric programme, the purpose of which was to examine and highlight the types of early fabric that can survive in urban contexts. The group studied early buildings in Beverley, East Yorkshire, using a combination of building investigation and recording, and documentary research. Case studies are presented for a selection of timber-framed buildings for which dates ranging from 1330 to 1674 were obtained through a combination of dendrochronology and radiocarbon wiggle-matching. The carpentry of crown-post roof trusses of the two earliest buildings is compared with similar buildings of the mid-fifteenth century. Two multiphase buildings are examined and the early fabric and later changes identified. Finally, a late seventeenth-century building is considered as an example of a type at the end of the timber-framing tradition.

历史城镇的早期织物：贝弗利项目

本文概述了约克郡乡土建筑研究小组作为历史英格兰早期织物计划的一部分进行的志愿者项目的一些主要发现，该项目的目的是检查和突出可以在城市环境。该小组结合建筑调查和记录以及文献研究，研究了东约克郡贝弗利的早期建筑。案例研究介绍了一系列木结构建筑，这些建筑的日期从 1330 年到 1674 年是通过树木年代学和放射性碳摆动匹配的组合获得的。这两座最早的建筑的冠柱屋顶桁架的木工与十五世纪中叶的类似建筑进行了比较。检查了两个多阶段建筑，并确定了早期结构和后来的变化。最后，一座 17 世纪晚期的建筑被认为是木结构传统终结类型的一个例子。
