The thatchers arrive on site and it really is interesting and satisfying to watch these craftsmen build the new thatch
on the front of the barn while the rear roof is still being constructed.

|
| In spite of the cold weather and snow the thatchers worked through it |

|
| Using the same methods that have been used for hundreds of years |

|
| While the thatchers work at the front the carpenters have got to finish this section of the roof |

|
| Eleven days later and this section is already thatched |

|
| One end of the barn with one side trimmed and the other still waiting |

|
| This side is just about finished apart from the chicken wire to stop the birds nesting in the thatch |
