We are actually just over the border in Hampshire. There are several good, local companies/craftsmen who have quoted but thank you for thinking of me. Who knows it may well be that we go a little further afield as we have not finally accepted the quote yet.
Not made it to the Weald and Downland museum since my historian friend visited, but am keen to take a look. I think our house is most likely a Pendean style, one that was common at the time with a centrally placed fireplace opposite the front door. Apparently the tell tale sign for dating it is the type of joint between the rafters and vertical wall timbers.
