Farm Buildings
First published in 1983, Farm Buildings gives a fascinating account of what has been happening in and around farm buildings since medieval times, and describes their structure, their function and their style.

John Woodforde emphasizes that just as people increasingly enjoy looking at old farm buildings, so too some farmers are coming to appreciate them with a new eye, noting that they possess in their yards assets whose value is greater in several ways than they used to think.
