Hi Ken,
Interesting that crucks were built in Hampshire for basically the working life of a man, maybe two generations if the individuals were short lived. It is also interesting when they were built, after the plague epidemic of the mid 14th century. I wonder if cruck construction was transferred to the area when a craftsman moved there from an area where crucks were more prevalent.
BTW, there is a cruck raising taking place in Ontario this week.
