If you have time, you may wish to conduct your own research. Some of the reconstructed, timber framed buildings in open air museums are definitely a source of inspiration. We strongly recommend visiting any one of the following:

South - Weald & Downland Open Air Museum -
www.wealddown.co.uk
Midlands - Avoncroft Museum - www.avoncroft.org.uk
Wales - St Fagans National History Museum - www.museumwales.ac.uk/en/stfagans

Recommended Books below are mostly available from the book section of www.greenshop.co.uk and also the North American Timber Framers Guild website www.tfguild.org which is also a great source of inspiration and information.
