Weald & Downland building archaeology weekend

The Museum was founded to preserve and display examples of vernacular buildings from the south-east region of England. Each of its buildings has been carefully dismantled and removed from its original site before being re-erected at the museum. This process has required the analysis and recording of each building’s structure, which has contributed to the museum’s understanding of its own vernacular buildings as well as to the understanding of vernacular buildings more generally. The exhibition will focus on the dismantling and recording of two key buildings within the Museum’s collection: a house from Walderton, West Sussex and Longport Farmhouse from Newington, Kent. The associated trail will take visitors around the Museum’s site (including exhibit buildings and the Museum’s artefact store), highlighting aspects of building archaeology from carpenters’ marks on timbers, to ritual ‘deposits’ found in some of our buildings’ fabric upon dismantling.
