This page is about some of the special projects we are involved with which focus on the history and traditions of thatching.
We grow our own straw at the Weald and Downland Museum which features many historic houses and agricultural buildings dating from the 13th century to victorian times, and have run a series of open days and work shops demonstrating the various methods of harvesting straw and traditional thatching practices.
