Gölde, officially named İncesu, is a rural settlement located in Aegean Anatolia. Before the population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1923, Gölde hosted both Orthodox Rum and Muslim Turkish communities. Despite out-migration since 1923, traditional life continued in the settlement with a small population that now comprises mostly elderly Turkish people. This paper aims to understand traditional

The crown-post roof appeared in England in the second half of the thirteenth century and persisted until the early sixteenth century in the south-east of England. Rafter holes are found in these roofs near to the feet of the rafters on their lower faces. They are blind holes typically 75 mm to 100 mm deep by about 25 mm in diameter. Various theories have been put forward over the years to explain their

Four Cornish buildings with base-cruck trusses are described, part of a distinctive group that share the feature of having the blades passing the tiebeams to clasp the arcade plates. They have been dated, using a combination of ring-width and stable-isotope dendrochronology, to between the late thirteenth and late fourteenth centuries, making them the earliest known secular buildings in Cornwall. The

A group of twelfth-century timbers was found re-used as joists in a mid sixteenth-century house on the Lincolnshire Wolds. It is suggested that they were first prepared for use in the nearby priory of Sixhills and dendro-provenancing indicates they are likely to have come from trees in Sherwood Forest. The timber is notably straight-grown. The fine condition of the timber allowed conclusions to be

In December 2019, no. 329 Whapload Road — an unassuming brick, flint and cobble building facing the North Sea across Lowestoft’s former beach area — was added to the National Heritage List for England and afforded Grade II statutory protection. Previously believed to be a nineteenth-century net store, a ubiquitous structure along Whapload Road, the detailed multi-disciplinary research which underpins

Manorial accounts for Sidbury, Devon, in 1461 provide almost the full costs for rebuilding a village house. It was thatched, with cob walls and jointed crucks, probably of three bays with one room floored over, and the accounts contain the earliest known written mention of cob. The assumption of responsibility by the manorial lords for building work in the village appears to be a response to a relatively

The question of how medieval carpenters set out their work is an under-investigated topic of research. Advanced craft knowledge is needed for a study of this kind and, in that regard, this article is written from a master craftsman’s point of view. Domestic medieval roofs have consistently common roof pitches of 48°, 52°, 55°1 and 58°, and roofs were being pitched long before the early scholars brought

Çomakdağ is a rural region consisting of five villages and six plateau settlements in the Beşparmak mountain range in Milas district, Muğla province, Turkey. The simple stone masonry buildings on the rocky cliffs and the indigenous lifestyle of the local people form unique characteristics of the region. The historic urban fabric is still visible, and the traditional lifestyle continues in the region

As part of a broader study of traditional farm buildings in the Ingleborough area of the Yorkshire Dales National Park fifteen early buildings were subjected to Level 2 surveying and tree-ring dating funded by the National Heritage Lottery Fund’s Ingleborough Dales Landscape Partnership. Felling dates were obtained for all but four of the buildings with an overall total of 45 dates obtained for timbers

Elm is generally considered to be unsuitable for dendrochronology, usually having too few rings, or having abrupt growth-rate changes that do not result from the external weather conditions. Samples rarely match each other in the same structure. A further difficulty is that even where it is known that the sequence is complete (the bark is still present), it is often not possible to distinguish sapwood

Recent developments in UK dendrochronology have shown that cross-dating of annually resolved tree-ring stable-isotope sequences from oak latewood cellulose provides an extremely effective precision...

Focusing on Nashtifan windmills in Razavi Khurasan Province, Iran, the present paper examines these structures in their physical and natural context. This research is directed in two ways: the small-scale that focuses on the windmills as individual manufacturing units and surveys their structural and functional characteristics, and the large-scale that looks at the formation of the windmills in connection

The Tilley Timber Project accurately dated 21 buildings with a total of 33 phases of development by tree-ring analysis in and around Tilley, a small village in north Shropshire. A spike of timber construction in Tilley when decorative wall-framing was at its height is identified. Using this data together with 261 previously published tree-ring dates, the datable changes in the style of timber-framing

Vernacular Architecture has reached its 50th year, and during that time has established itself as the leading UK journal devoted to the study of traditional buildings. This collection of short essays looks back at how the subject has changed, the extent to which it has responded to or helped shape new thinking, and the challenges students of vernacular buildings face in the light of new expectations

This article presents the results of an Historic England (then English Heritage) funded volunteer building recording project in Southwell, Nottinghamshire, conducted by the Southwell Community Archaeology Group under the direction of Dr Chris King (University of Nottingham) and Matthew Hurford (Trent & Peak Archaeology, York Archaeological Trust). Southwell, as a minster town with Roman and Anglo-Saxon

This contribution reinforces Currie’s article in Vernacular Architecture 49 to demonstrate that tenants of all kinds, free and customary, usually arranged for the building of the dwellings and subsidiary buildings on their holdings. Lords built only in special circumstances, and tenants normally organised construction by obtaining materials and hiring carpenters. The expectation that tenants were responsible
