The Norfolk Historic Buildings Group is a voluntary group whose passion is vernacular buildings. It spent several years surveying buildings in New Buckenham as the first of their studies of vernacular houses in a village context. The survey results include work by the late Paul Rutledge, a local resident, and a book was published in 2005. Part 2 describes the detailed construction of each house surveyed and discusses the dates of building uncovered by dendrochronology, a technique involving analysing ring patterns in the oak beams. Although now out of print, the NHBG has kindly allowed this publication to be available online. Please click the buttons to see the book in PDF form. Part 2 is quite long.
