English Late-Medieval timber-framed architecture
The aim of this site is to aid research into English Late-Medieval timber-framed architecture and digital archaeology. This blog works in tandem with my main site – www.medievalarchitecture.net
Academic papers are offered alongside detailed information on the ‘Devizes Heads‘.
We offer the viewer an insight into certain elements of British medieval architecture, mainly focusing on timber-frame construction methods in central southern England. In particular we will explore, through digital technologies, the joints employed by medieval carpenters to frame a house and their chrono-typologies. The study of which is based on solid dates derived from dendrochronological investigations (tree-ring dating) and the influences of the ‘Black Death’. We will also report on the medieval corbel heads from Devizes (Wiltshire), employing virtual technologies to explore the techniques of their manufacture.
Call for help
I am in the final five months of writing up the thesis now and would appreciate any input on late medieval timber framing techniques. Also there are about 20 dendro dated buildings in Hampshire I have not been able to get permission to survey yet, so if anyone knows anyone who could help…
Thanks
