Oak Framed Houses
Throughout the ages the oak tree has stood as the ‘king of the forest’ and is
revered for its protective qualities. It has been used in the construction of
oak framed houses for centuries. There are some that believe that the oak was
the first tree created and its fruit, the Acorn, the first food of mankind. Even
though the oak today is widely cultivated across Europe and the Northern
Hemisphere, it is still regarded characteristically as English. Years ago, as a
symbol of Britain, a spray of oak was . Imprinted onto coins. The old sixpence
and shilling pieces bore it, and then later the British lion replaced it. Until
the 17th century, England was blessed with a plentiful supply of oak, which was
the most widespread material used for timber frame home building. Since oak is
a hard and durable timber it explains why so many of our ancestors beautiful
medieval oak framed houses have survived
and we take pride in being able to recreate these oak frame buildings which
will also stand for many centuries.
