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

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.

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.

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.
