5.0 out of 5 stars A must for all Barn enthusiast and preservationist, February 16, 2001

Robert W. Sherman (Springfield, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Guide to Medieval English Tithe Barns (Paperback)

This book is a must for all persons interested in historic barn preservation. It contains a wealth of information and knowledge of early timber-frame construction from the early cruck to post and beam techniques. As a traveling guide, I can see myself spending a summer driving around England in awe of these magnificent structures photographing them in total and in detail.

After reading this volume, the reader is inspired to find an old barn, restore it, and live in its great open space.

5.0 out of 5 stars for travelors who prefer exploring on their ownGreat guide, October 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Guide to Medieval English Tithe Barns (Paperback)

Because this book lists where the barns are - and they are usually in out of the way places - you can start off in the morning to find one and have a great adventure on the way. Then when you discover a barn, the book tells you great stuff about what you're looking at.
