Hi,

We surveyed and recorded the cruck building shown at the top of page 1 today.

We found that this is nearly an all elm frame with elm cruck blades, purlins, floor joists, spine beams, mantles, collars, rafters but with oak wall plates, sills and wall studs. This frame has stood exposed to the elements no for nearly 600 years and they say that elm is not durable - yeh right !
