Anchor Beams with Needles. An East Anglian Mystery
In central north Essex and central south Suffolk there are a number of houses dating from the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries with a form of anchor beam where, unlike those in Denmark and a number of north European countries, the protruding end is not reduced to a tenon that goes through a post, but passes through the wall undiminished with a long wedge, called here a needle, through its protruding end. These anchor beams are not attached to a…
Remote monitoring of stock water reservoirs
Water is the most important nutrient for livestock and ensuring a continuous supply can be costly and time consuming. Failed water delivery systems have resulted in livestock deaths. Game cameras, pressure transducers, and automatic meter reading systems that connect either by cellular networks or satellite can be used to remotely monitor water. Although costs vary among systems, the user’s comfort level with using technology and the characterist…
The Carpentry of a Twelfth-Century Aisled Hall
Burmington Manor is a stone-walled aisled manor house with a timber arcade and timber posts for the central truss of the open hall. It also includes a high end first-floor chamber lit by a twelfth-century stone window. Its date has hitherto been uncertain, but has now been determined as 1194/5d. This was a little later than expected from its primitive carpentry. The main discovery from our further examination is that the central arcade posts are …
A Base Cruck Aisled Hall at Frobury Farmhouse, Kingsclere, Hampshire
The core of Frobury Farmhouse, Kingsclere, Hampshire, is an aisled base cruck open hall built in c.1334/5d (Bridge and Miles, "Tree-Ring Dates from Oxford" (2015), 107) with a crown-post roof and passing braces in the closed trusses. Above all this is a full set of rafters from a mid-thirteenth-century aisled hall that had passing braces on all the trusses, tree-ring dated to 1263–8d, probably the predecessor to the base cruck hall. The 1334/5d a…
Baythorne Hall, a Raised-Aisled Hall in Birdbrook, Essex, and Its Relationship to Other Raised-Aisled Halls
Baythorne Hall is an isolated raised-aisled hall in north-west Essex, tree-ring dated to 1341, making it the earliest of the three raised-aisled halls that have been dated so far. Raised-aisled halls are buildings where the arcade posts are raised up on to a dropped tiebeam on the centre truss of the open hall, thus clearing the open hall of arcade posts. They are not the same as roof types that look like aisled structures raised up on to normal …
Measuring plagiarism
Student plagiarism in colleges and universities has become a controversial issue in recent years. A key problem has been the lack of reliable empirical data on the frequency, nature and extent of plagiarism in student assignments. The aim of the study described here was to provide this data. Patterns of plagiarism were tracked in two university business studies assignments involving over 500 students and over 1000 scripts. Turnitin software was u…
A Lobby-Entrance House of 1615
Model Farm, Linstead Magna is the first lobby-entrance house to be tree-ring dated in Suffolk. In April 2002 Martin Bridge dated the timbers as felled in 1615, a date which provides a benchmark for many features and is the first step in resolving the question of how early the lobby-entrance house occurred in north Suffolk

In Old Virginia
In Old Virginia: Slavery, Farming, and Society in the Journal of John Walker. Edited by Claudia L. Bushman. (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2002. Pp. xix, 292. Appendices. Cloth, $44.95.)In Old Virginia is a welcome addition the growing shelf of studies of small planters in the antebellum South. From 1824, when John Walker commenced farming at the age of thirty-nine, until shortly before his death in 1867, Walker kept a daily record o…
A Square Medieval Timber-Framed Kitchen
Not all medieval kitchens were rectangular multi-purpose buildings; some were square single-purpose buildings. Margaret Wood drew attention to a number in The English Medieval House, most of which were associated with high-status houses. A smaller manorial kitchen still survives today in the north-west corner of the moated platform at Little Braxted Hall, Essex. Cecil Hewett drew attention to it many years ago as an example of a detached kitchen.…
Detached Kitchens - A Comment and an Essex Example
The building discussed here is an Essex example of the type of detached kitchen described by David and Barbara Martin in VA 28. This is an outbuilding at Hancocks, Moreton, Essex, a fifteenth-century, non-manorial, three-unit open-hall house. As shown in the drawings (Figs 2, 3), it could easily be mistaken for a separate house, except for its unusual plan
Late-Twelfth & Early-Thirteenth-Century Aisled Buildings
The earliest extant timber-framed buildings identified by dendrochronology cluster around the late twelfth and early thirteenth century. Evidence from archaeological excavations suggests that the late twelfth century represents the threshold when fully timber-framed buildings start to appear. Some clarification has resulted from the discovery that a number of buildings once thought to be earlier have timbers felled in the mid-thirteenth century. …
Late-Twelfth & Early-Thirteenth-Century Aisled Buildings
An Unusual Timber-Framed House in Essex
A timber-framed sixteenth-century house, Offins, has recently been discovered in south-west Essex with unusual framing. The external walls have a double set of studs with one group set flush to the outside wall and visible from the outside and a second group set between them and flush with the inside wall and visible inside the house. In addition Offins has an unusual (for Essex) medieval plan. It consists of three units with the high end of the …

A Point to the People
Wynter's Armourie
This article shows first that Wynter's Armourie in Essex definitely had a base-cruck truss when first built, and then outlines the three subsequent major stages of development of the house from a base-cruck open hall to its late seventeenth-century form. The house is listed as having a base-cruck truss but there was some uncertainty as the truss had been considerably altered in the late fourteenth or fifteenth century when the 'aisles' were heigh…

An Enforcement Taxonomy of Regulatory Agencies
A variety of multivariate techniques were used to develop a taxonomy of regulatory agencies from the first comprehensive study of the disparate enforcement strategies employed by business regulatory agencies in one country. Seven types of agencies were identified: Conciliators, Benign Big Guns, Diagnostic Inspectorates, Detached Token Enforcers, Detached Modest Enforcers, Token Enforcers and Modest Enforcers. Agencies were distinguished primarily…
The Real Fictional World of William Shand
One of the more interesting features of the history of Argentina and the evolution of that country's society is the mark made by the English-speaking settlers (the English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and, less so, the North Americans), especially in the fields of commerce, industry, agriculture, etc. dating back to the pioneers of the post-Independence period of the early nineteenth century.' Less appreciated, but no less important, is the contribut…

Influence of Self-Observation versus Other-Observation on Immediate and Delayed Recall
Geen has shown that an observer's presence facilitates delayed recall in the same way as nonsocial sources of arousal. Recently, a theory has been proposed which suggests that observer effects are mediated by “objective selfawareness” rather than arousal. In this experiment, 30 male and 25 female Ss learned paired associates either alone, observed by the E, or self-observed via a mirror while alone. Recall was tested 2 min or 45 min later. Consis…
