A must for all Barn enthusiast and preservationist
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.

for travelors who prefer exploring on their ownGreat guide
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.
