A true magnum opus, Cecil A. Hewett's English Historic Carpentry
appeals to every type of architectural historian, from the
connoisseur of cathedrals to the vernacular 'barn and cottage'
enthusiast. It also offers practical insight into the structure and
age of the old homes and outbuildings of Britain, and will reveal
that much timber-work is appreciably older than their owners might
think. This book will be a source of pride and inspiration to all
who work in timber today, showing that the master carpenters of the
past achieved their highest levels of craftsmanship well before the
master masons, and that they were their equals as medieval
architects. Beginning as a young upstart with wild theories, Hewett
grew to become the accepted authority on all matters of historic
carpentry and a pioneer of a whole new technology in the dating of
ancient buildings. In English Historic Carpentry, he provides the
definite statement of his work, superbly illustrated by his own
drawings. As Hewett maintained, 'the building is the document' and
this book will teach you how to read the evidence that is written
in wood.
