Vernacular sites
If vernacular refers to building constructed out of local materials, using local craftsmen and in a local style, then most of the buildings described in this website are vernacular. However this section focuses on old farmsteads and domestic buildings and is different to the other areas in that it is more concerned with recording the buildings rather than encouraging people to visit. Most of these buildings are ruined or empty, a few are still occupied and some are on private land; for that reason no directions have been given. They are reminders of a world that is fast disappearing and as such need recognition.
