Several VAG members ventured to France last week for the excellent @FarmBuildings conference in The Lot region. Wonderful range of constructions - farmhouses, bakehouses, barns, pigsties, wells, lavoirs, casselles, walnut processing buildings, water mills and pigeon houses.
Our next evening talk - ‘The Characteristics of Farm Buildings’ -will be delivered by Anne Padfield on 27th September, at Moulsham Mill, Chelmsford. Anne has been studying these buildings for many years and is an excellent speaker. All welcome! https://t.co/7UGakjMF8f @VArchGroup

Several YVBSG members attended the excellent @FarmBuildings annual autumn conference in the Peak District this weekend. Interesting features to be seen included some nice former pigsties and feeding troughs.
