Cruck Distribution - A Brief Note
The Unfulfilled Wider Implications of Vernacular Architecture Studies
It will be generally agreed that in the last forty years the study of vernacular architecture, largely by members of this Group, has produced a vast amount of information, both regional and national, on all aspects of the subject. House-types have been classified, methods of construction analysed, and the usage of rooms in a house identified. In short, the subject has been brought under control. So much so that one distinguished scholar has doubt…

Cruck Distribution: A Social Explanation
L'A. etudie la distribution des constructions sur une base de forme courbe en Angleterre et compare notamment les constructions des maisons entre deux contes anglais, le Kent et le Shropshire. La difference entre les deux comtes ne releve pas du fait que le Kent ne connaissait rien de cette technique avant le fin du XII e siecle contrairement au Shropshire, mais que ce type d'architecture etait tres prise par la paysannerie aisee du Kent contrair…
Time and Chance: A Timely Rejoinder
This reply to Dr Currie's article in VA 19 considers regional variations among surviving vernacular houses against a wider background and finds considerable significance in them. Accepting his view that vernacular houses in nucleated settlements had a higher composite attrition rate than those in scattered settlements, it attempts to show that that proposition negates his claim that most medieval houses were of the standard of those which have su…

The Ruthwell and Bewcastle Crosses
The stone crosses at Ruthwell in Dum- friesshire and at Bewcastle in Cumberland are probably the most discussed pieces of sculpture in the British Isles (PLS. XLI-XLII). It is right that they should be, for they have a artistic content that is high by any standards, they wholly outclass any possible contemporaries in Western Europe, and they are among the earliest examples of a notable and long-lasting form of Saxon art. Moreover, they are not on…
