Donington: Shaun Tyas, 2019. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

More than 4,000 such buildings survive today, including cottages, farmhouses, manor houses, barns great and small, and even a few churches, with dates ranging from 1262 to 1742.

The book covers the whole of Britain though there are references to crucks in Ireland and mainland Europe. There are fifteen essays by leading architectural historians of the vernacular, the editors contributing to more than one paper, some providing conceptual overviews of construction methods, definitions, trees and documentation. The contributors are Nat Alcock, Daniel…
