Description

This book provides a social history of thatchers and thatching through the ages, from Stone age roundhouses to thatched estates. The book offers the reader an appreciation of the craft, the man and his materials. This book explores the lives of those connected with the industry and explains how they were affected by two world wars, the Industrial Revolution, the 19th century social upheaval, changes in marsh and woodland management and, most of all, fashion. - from Amzon
