OBee
CIC are delighed that planning permission has been passed to reinstate
this
1580 Suffolk Long House. Originally framed in Tudor times, these
ancient timbers have spend too many decades hiding in the bramble patch
adjacent to Orchard Barn.
To the right is an
artist's impression by Jo Pepper. It is based on a historical building
survey undertaken in 2007 by building historian Leigh Alston.
The photograph shows the long house in the 1960s before it fell
over! See architect's drawings below.
This 'once-in-a-lifetime' project is reinstating the timber frame using
a 'like for like' approach.
Original timbers will be repaired and re-used wherever possible,
and local trees are being sourced to use for the rest of the timber
frame.
Develop your
knowledge, skills and abilities.
Get involved with the reinstatement of this important Suffolk building.

frame?
