Traditional Farm Buildings of Wiltshire, by Pamela M. Slocombe
Wiltshire farmyards contain many old farm buildings, of stone, brick or timber-framed, crammed with fascinating information about past agricultural methods. This new book explores the findings of members of Wiltshire Buildings Record during their fieldwork all over the county covering buildings of all types dating from the late 13th century to the 20th century. They are a vanishing resource recorded in very many cases before the information is lost through conversion or even demolition. The book follows on from the author’s Wiltshire Farm Buildings 1500-1900 published 1989, now taking the subject back into the medieval period and widening the scope to cover more farm buildings and features. It is lavishly illustrated in addition to the authoritative text. April 2025, vii + 119 pages, over 300 illustrations, many in colour, paperback, £12.50, ISBN 978-1-914407-90-1
