Charlton Court Barn in Steyning, West Sussex, is an eight bay, king post construction barn built in the early fourteen hundreds. The conservation of the frame was carried out both on site and in our timber framing yard in Wiltshire.

It describes in some detail the approach taken to the repairs and some of the considerations when conserving and restoring timber frames.
