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.
