Several articles have been published by members, particularly in the annual journal of the Vernacular Architecture Group, to which we are affiliated.
A book called Doorways in the Dales, illustrating some of the decorative features to be found on buildings in the area, is available from David Crook, 18 Sycamore Terrace, Bootham, York YO30 7DN, at £3 + 75p postage.
Guidelines on Recording a Vernacular Building
The Group has compiled some Notes on the Recording of Vernacular Buildings - a set of guidelines outlining the basic method used by the Group to measure, draw and describe a building. Those who are new to recording, in particular, may find these notes useful - they are available here in pdf format (to view pdf files you will need Acrobat Reader - if you do not have it, you can download it from here).
