Deux chercheurs gallois sur le terrain français
L’histoire médiévale française, et particulièrement celle de la Bretagne ducale, a dominé la vie de chercheur de Michael Jones dès ses années d’étudiant à Oxford. Ses publications, livres et articles, témoignent d’une carrière exceptionnelle. Bien que la plupart de ses travaux concernent la France, il a également trouvé le temps de se consacrer à d’importants projets en Angleterre, en tant qu’auteur, éditeur, parfois les deux. Retraité, il s’est …
Vernacular architecture in Europe
The Seigneurial Domestic Buildings of Brittany
Since 1983 a multi-disciplinary survey of buildings of the manor-house type in the historic duchy of Brittany has been undertaken. The present paper presents provisional results, chiefly based on work up to the 1987 season in two of the five modern départements of the province: Côtes-du-Nord and Ille-et-Vilaine. After a brief historical introduction discussing the political and social context of the manoirs , their relationship to earlier seigneu…
The Dating by Dendrochronology of Three Northamptonshire Halls
Timber in the roofs of the great halls at Abington Hall, Boughton House and Upton Hall has been sampled for dendrochronological analysis. The roof at Abington is of single hammer-beam construction. Those at Boughton and Upton, along with that formerly over the hall at Fawsley, form a distinct group of late-medieval hall roofs characterised by principal and intermediate collar-beam arch-braced trusses. Cusped bracing within the trusses, cusped win…
The Vernacular Architecture of France
France, a country rich in the variety of its culture and natural resources, displays a greatly varied vernacular architecture. Building materials, stone, timber and clay, are present in abundance. Walling is of earth, stone and timber frame; roofing of thatch, tile, stone and wood shingle. Roof construction is varied and includes the aisled form as well as king-post, collar-and-tie-beam, coupled-rafter and cruck trusses. The 'open' hall with its …
The Distribution of Somerset Roof-Tiles in Brittany
Results of recent fieldwork show that significant quantities of Bridgwater tiles, manufactured by Colthurst, Symons & Co. Ltd., were imported into northern Brittany during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Their surviving distribution is largely confined to the northern Côtes-du-Nord where they testify to an important phase of roof-covering between the almost universal roofing with thatch and the now ubiquitous slate covering. Th…
The seventeenth-century greniers-à-sel at Honfleur, Calvados
A salt-tax, existing in France since the thirteenth century, led to the construction of bonded warehouses. One such grenier-à-sel was in existence in Honfleur before 1372. By the late seventeenth century, chiefly as the result of the development of herring and cod fisheries, the need had arisen for new larger salt-warehouses. Three were constructed in Honfleur, of which two survive, dated 1670. They were built of stone from the demolished town wa…

Some Early and Primitive Building Forms in Brittany
During the course of a long-term survey of the domestic buildings of Brittany, houses of the simplest form, long-houses and single-cell dwellings, have been found widely distributed, some occupying isolated sites, others crowded into hamlets and often in rows (Meirion-Jones 1973a, and in progress). The single-cell dwelling, whether attached to a byre or not, appears to have been the standard unit of family accommodation, probably for the greater …

The Long-House in Brittany
This paper is the result of preliminary work undertaken as part of a long-term survey of the lesser domestic buildings of Brittany, during which long-houses have been found in large numbers. Attention is drawn to the known distribution of the long-house in western Europe, and examples of Breton long-houses are described and contrasted with Welsh and English examples. Evidence of their former widespread distribution is presented showing them to be…

The Domestic Buildings of Odiham, Hampshire
This survey, undertaken in 1967 as part of a more extensive study of the settlement of the area is based on the Tithe Map of 1840, which with the accompanying Tithe Apportionment provides an almost complete survey of the landscape of the parish, showing all buildings, field boundaries, field names and land use, and listing. owners and occupiers of each tithe area. It is the earliest, indeed the only, country-wide survey to distinguish between dwe…
