The Historic Buildings of New Buckenham
In 2005 the Norfolk Historic Buildings Group produced a report on
New Buckenham Buildings, analysing the timber framed houses’
structures and using dendrochronology techniques.
This magnificent book was joint winner of the Pitt Rivers Award
(2006).
Part 1 relates the buildings to the history of New Buckenham written
by Paul Rutledge and places them in their landscape context. Part 2
describes the detailed construction of each of the houses NHBG was
allowed to survey and discusses the dates of building that the
dendrochronology study uncovered.
NHBG is a voluntary group whose passion is vernacular buildings and spent several years
surveying buildings in New Buckenham as the first of their studies of vernacular houses in a village
context.
The volume was on sale for several years before selling out but NHBG has kindly made the book
available to download.
