Several VAG members ventured to France last week for the excellent @FarmBuildings conference in The Lot region. Wonderful range of constructions - farmhouses, bakehouses, barns, pigsties, wells, lavoirs, casselles, walnut processing buildings, water mills and pigeon houses.

The 2018 Historic Farm Buildings Group (HFBG) conference, being held in the Peak District National Park, is now fully subscribed by members, but why not join the HFBG for advance notice of future conferences. Provisionally the 2019 conference may be in Lot, SW France.

More images #Dartmoor Ash Houses: slides by Peter Hirst 1990s. 1,2&3 typically round with conical roofs, 4 rectangular with barrel roof. 1&3 metal hatches intact on opening for depositing ash; not a farm building that can readily be adapted to other uses; many fallen into decline

It's not just barns that catch our eye. This fantastic little 'ash house' for storing the cinders from the fire, impressed us all. #HFBG2017
