The Viking Building at Cranborne |
|
|
Volunteers, students and staff have embarked on an ambitious project to build a working reconstruction of a Viking longhouse at The Ancient Technology Centre in Dorset. Following in the footsteps of other timber framing projects at the centre, the intention is to complete the build by Christmas 2008. This project seeks to combine financial support from private and public donors with a volunteer and student workforce to produce a unique residential facility for schools and other educational groups. |
December |
Although the beginning of the month was incredibly wet, the last two weeks of December has been miraculously dry enough to put all of the wall posts in the ground. Each post is set 1 metre into chalk and held in place with many thin layers of tamped chalk. |
