Thatch on buildings is an important part of our national heritage, it has been a traditional building material for well over two thousand years. An existing thatched roof often contains a considerable amount of history itself, with work carried out by many craftsmen over many hundreds of years.
It can also contain information on historic building techniques as well as agricultural taxonomy. Thatched roofs are a part of our landscape and an example of the living history around us.
Not only is thatch a beautiful building material, it is the ultimate material for sustainable roofs. This is especially the case for traditionally built thatched roofs using locally sourced materials.
