Thatched House #1 @ B4081 & Catbrook - Chipping Campden - England, UK
Initially, home builders constructed roofs of thatched wheat straw. The straw was readily available and affordable. Later, slate roofs replaced thatched. Straw-based thatch will last approximately 20-25 years, while the ridge along the top, which is the most significant wear point, needs replacing every ten to 12 years.
