Thatching, an ancient craft that has stood the test of time, continues to grace the roofs of historic buildings and picturesque cottages around the world. From the Hermitage headquarters of the Selboorne Society at Hanwell to Doonagore Castle in Co Clare, Ireland, these structures proudly display their beautifully thatched roofs. In Marlborough, Thatcher Sidney Chun skillfully splits a spar as he meticulously works on preserving a piece of history. Dodie Smith finds solace in her Essex home surrounded by its charming thatched roof, while Parkes Castle in Co Leitrim stands tall with its timeless appeal. The artistry involved in renewing thatch is evident as we witness a dedicated Thatcher at work on an English cottage. Reed stacking becomes an essential part of this process as water reed cutters from East Anglia gather materials for their meticulous craftsmanship. Wilsford Manor's east front overlooks a stunning garden and boasts a well-maintained thatched roof - a testament to both elegance and functionality. The tradition lives on through generations as early 1900s water reed cutters continue their laborious task in East Anglia. Selworthy Green's Rest Cottage receives its much-needed attention during the restoration process; every stroke ensures its longevity and charm. Meanwhile, Gortahork's Thatched Cottage in Co Donegal showcases Ireland's rich heritage against the backdrop of the majestic Atlantic Ocean. Thatching remains not just an architectural choice but also serves as a link between past and present. It symbolizes resilience and craftsmanship passed down through generations - an enduring reminder of our connection to history and nature itself.
