A survey of the vernacular buildings in Compton
Dundon Parish has just been completed and published.
In
addition, the Group has published ‘The Dovecotes of
Historical Somerset’ written by two members, Pamela and
John McCann.
A Dendrochronology Project (tree-ring-dating) was
undertaken during 1996 -1998 which enabled a chronology to
be established of the seven principal roof types found in
Somerset. The Project also established that the precise
date of many medieval houses is much earlier than had
previously been thought.
A second Project started in 2003
with the aim of expanding and consolidating the earlier
findings.
The projects are funded by generous grants from a
number of sources.
