Abstract
From 1940 to 1994 English house thatching developed into a recognised industry in a period of radical change in cereal and water reed production, rural property ownership and increasing bureaucracy. This book charts the influence of government organisations on the promotion of thatch, the supply of materials, the development of the trade organisations, the training of thatchers and the application of listed building controls to thatched buildings.
