Cruck database

This database was originally created (as 80 column cards) by N W Alcock as a Vernacular Architecture Group project, with the collaboration of many members of the group. It was used to generate the published catalogues of cruck buildings in Cruck Construction: an Introduction and Catalogue CBA Research Report 42 (1981) and its predecessor, A Catalogue of Cruck Buildings (Phillimore for Vernacular Architecture Group, 1973). Additional entries and revisions have been incorporated up to November 2014, giving a total of 6,132 entries (4,231 true and 1,056 jointed crucks). In this update, two pairs of counties (Hereford & Worcester, and Leicestershire & Rutland) combined in 1974 but later divided again have been separated into their components.
