Considers some of the issues that arise when conservation philosophy is put into practice, by examining the repair of protected historic timber-framed buildings. Suggests that, while the practical and theoretical role of the repair guidance is acknowledged by practitioners, the reality is that work carried out to timber-framed buildings often lacks the clarity and coherence contained within that guidance. Suggests, also, that current guidance, although coherent, is too narrowly based. References.
