See an exhibition illustrating the craft of the thatcher.

At Furzey Gardens we have nearly 1000 square metres of thatch on our buildings and visitors will now be able to see the techniques involved in this ancient craft.


A variety of thatching materials are shown on display roofs at eye level... water reed, longstraw, heather, combed wheat straw and others.
