Chronicle (1966)

The Cottage (1982x13)

: 24, 1982

A simple Victorian cottage, half-thatched, half-covered with corrugated iron, stands in the hamlet of Walderton in the Sussex Weald. This small, traditional English building tells us more about the lives of ordinary people than large buildings designed by important architects. For two years "Chronicle" followed the story of the cottage as it was dismantled, carefully investigated, restored and re-erected in the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum as a prime example of traditional English building. Re-aired 21 August 1990
