Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Nice book in great condition. Pages in excellent unused condition. No notes or highlighting. There is a coffee splash to the bottom page block it does not affect the page faces hence selling as only good condition. See images. Fantastic book.

About the book >.>.> There were probably many hundreds of these miniature halls in Powys but their date range is uncertain. The single-bayed halls which have been dated were built in the mid-sixteenth century but the sample is small and there are probably earlier examples. A range of single-bayed halls has been examined throughout Wales but in many cases the timber was found to be fast-grown (probably derived from hedgerows rather than managed woods) and unsuitable for dating. There are only five secure dates but they are remarkably close. Two box-framed single-bay halls from Montgomeryshire produced dates of late 1550 and 1552. (SP)
