  • Anglo-Saxon carpentry

    Open AccessCecil A HewettARTICLEAnglo-Saxon England1978Cited by: 1References: 2

    During the last century there were vigorous arguments between architectural historians about whether any buildings had survived from before the Norman Conquest. Although as early as 1817 Thomas Rickman had given reasoned proof that at least a few stone buildings had survived, many writers followed John Henry Parker in maintaining that the Anglo-Saxons built only in wood and that all their buildings had vanished.

  • Understanding standing buildings

    Cecil Hewett, Cecil A HewettARTICLEWorld Archaeology1977Cited by: 2

    The paper examines the degree to which an historic building may be understood ‐ comprehended ‐ by present‐day students of architectural history. Buildings of stone or brick are considered easier than buildings of timber, and examples are given of timber constructions which cannot be understood without a study in great depth of the craft of carpentry. It is proposed that many buildings can at present only be comprehended to a very limited extent, …

It should provide a beginning for the compilation of a group index of such joints, as well as for the further study of them and the refinement of their dating significance. Where the lis…

  • Seventeenth-century Carpentry in Essex

    Cecil A HewettARTICLEPost-Medieval Archaeology1971

    It is here argued that there was a decline in the standards of carpentry in the early 17th century. From the six buildings discussed, there is evidence of confusion over the main structural framework and in the minor details. The increasing use of iron bolts and brackets is another feature of this decline

  • Some East Anglian Prototypes for Early Timber Houses in America

Seven characteristics of New England timber building are identified and origins suggested for them. The carpentry joints involved are closely examined. The steady emigration to America of newlytraine…
