  1. I live in an old thatch cottage and just noticed these on the edge of the thatch, anyone any idea what sort of nests they could be? #askfedi #thatch #insects

  6. Manaton, Devon

    Village green flanked by thatched cottages beside St Winifred's church belie the location in an exposed village on Dartmoor, near high hills and granite tors. 📸: @morgrugyn

  7. Higher Ashton, Devon

    Cottages on perimeter of the churchyard. C18 or earlier. Whitewashed rendered cob and stone rubble, thatched roofs, in an exceptionally unspoilt village.

  8. East Titchbury Farm, Hartland, Devon

    Former granary C18 mainly cob walls and thatched roof. First floor with external access via stone steps. Ground floor doorway in end wall and dovecote above. One of only a few examples of this combination of granary and dovecote.

  9. Honiton, Devon

    Two thatched grade II* cottages C17 or earlier. Old thatch c. 4' thick. Replacement thatch roof set on old walls with new ridge to allow original timbers to be left in situ. Cat skeleton found, probably apotropaic.

  10. Thatching uses the rain’s angle of descent against it. The material isn’t in itself waterproof, but it guides the drops from the roof’s surface to the ground. It’s gravity judo. I watched the thatch going up on this row of cottages. It was weirdly restful.

  11. An update with some work in progress following a fairly brutal storm yesterday. Despite the wind and rain it doesn’t appear to have been a problem that the roof wasn’t finished.

  12. Some lovely traditional work being carried out replacing thatch on the only remaining thatched roofed cottage around here.

  13. Always disappointing when the little English village where the murder takes place has no #thatch roofs.

  14. I am now in possession of a nearly 30-page book on thatch roofs and will shortly become more knowledgeable about thatching than most people I am likely to encounter on a daily basis. #Thatch

  15. Can someone recommend a book about thatch roofs in English history (or world history)? #Thatch #Books #BookRec

    Just read a fantastic one, on the work of John Letts, from 2001:

    "No one had excavated a thatched roof before."

    "Before systematic crop breeding, cereals evolved into local land races. Different soils, slope, shading and drainage gave endless possibilities for adaptation. With variety in the seed stock, crops would grow differently even across a single farm. Whatever the weather or diseases, something would always flourish."

    "Old thatch provides an opportunity to study this lost diversity. Letts often finds a mix of bread wheat, English rivet wheat - not grown commercially for more than a century - rye, oats and barley. He has also found 35 different weeds, from corn cockle and cornflower - now vanished from English farms - to yellow rattle and cow wheat."

  17. 3/4

    This was the first time I've been outside North America, and I couldn't dream of a better place for my first international trip to Europe.

    It was a wonderful trip, and one that forced me to disconnect, be present in the moment, and experience different perspectives.

  18. Great to be back at the Star Inn, Harome, a year after the fire that nearly burned it to the ground #StarInnHarome #NorthYorkshire #thatch

  19. Here's the way the #traditional #Thatch house in #Ireland develops normally.

    You start by building - with your own hands a one room cottage with a byre attached for housing your animals. Often the byre is on the downhill side so that the animal urine soaks away from the house

    As time goes by and you get really modern, you add on a bedroom uphill side, against the fireplace wall.

    The next step into the future is...? Well, sadly, the next step will probably be to get rid of the thatch roof.
