England has a surprising number of timber-framed buildings, because they mostly date from before 1700 they are normally listed buildings, there is now an increasing demand for these buildings to be adapted to suit modern day requirements. The Repair of Historic Timber Structures is an indispensable guide for those involved in the structural assessment and repair of timber in buildings.The book takes a practical approach and discusses two types of structure, the oak-framed buildings dating from the Middle Ages (which still survive in some numbers), and the timber elements of masonry buildings from the late seventeenth century.
