Management Attitudes Towards Reusing Materials in Traditional Cumbrian Buildings
With regard to the reuse of the main building materials of Cumbria, this article explores aspects of problem-solving methods, attitudes and motivation of some managers of traditional building work in the county. It will be clear that comparative research elsewhere in the country will greatly benefit vernacular architecture studies

Transportation and the Supply of Construction Materials
This article uses documentary evidence from Cumbria to show how transportation affected the supply of construction materials and the organisation of building work. It indicates how traditional building management studies could become a major contributor to understanding vernacular architecture
Identifying and Classifying Masons' Marks
Since the first discussion of masons' marks, about 150 years ago, much has been written about them including, according to Salzman, 'some fanciful nonsense,'. Perhaps the most intractable problem has been to allocate names to particular marks. This article therefore indicates briefly how masons' marks were used, outlines several important discoveries and pitfalls in earlier studies and then, by reference to sources in the Cumbria Record Offices, …
Low-Cost Housing in Cumbria, 1665-1721
Opportunities to examine original evidence for the cost of vernacular houses and for the motivation leading to their erection are scarce. As one probes further down the social scale difficulty increases and the quality of evidence is usually poorer, partly through widespread illiteracy among the lower classes. The houses built by or for such people were moreover of poorer materials and construction, so that few survive above the vernacular thresh…
Building Accounts for Enlarging a Farm Building at Maulds Meaburn, Cumbria
It has been suggested that the present concentration on archaeological studies of traditional buildings might benefit from the work of social and economic historians. This article therefore examines accounts for the enlargement of one Cumbrian farm building in 1739-40. The source, price and use of most building materials, the organization of work and even the identity of work men become clear. Aspects of ownership, local geology, transportation a…

Construction schedules for some 17th-century farm buildings in Cumbria
A modern construction management technique—the Gantt chart—is used to examine how builders organized the erection of four surviving farm buildings for Sir Daniel Fleming of Rydal Hall between 1659 and 1688. His accounts allow detailed bar charts to be drawn to show the number of men employed on each trade and the duration and succession of their work.As considerable savings could accrue from selling oak bark for tanning, tree felling was delayed …
