The Science of Dating and Vernacular Building [in: Vernacular Architecture at 50: Towards the Study of Buildings in Context]

Vernacular Architecture has reached its 50th year, and during that time has established itself as the leading UK journal devoted to the study of traditional buildings. This collection of short essays looks back at how the subject has changed, the extent to which it has responded to or helped shape new thinking, and the challenges students of vernacular buildings face in the light of new expectations, scholarly debate and the fast-moving science of dating.
