Members spent two days this week investigating the fabulous Oakwell Hall, Birstall, and trying to understand the stonework and the timberwork inside. Not sure that a consensus was reached - discussions are ongoing!

Caught the boys just dressing up for work when I pulled up at the timber workshop this morning at 8am. They were shocked 🤣 From raw timber to finished beauty — this is where we craft all our solid doors, timber floors, & custom pieces like the ones we delivered for Chobe. Take a look around… our workshop is fully equipped & the team is always ready to deliver top-quality timber work. Currently working on an order of wooden doors & windows for an upcoming resort for one of our Diaspora #PeaceOfMindPackage clients. If you're in need of doors, floors, staircases, or any serious timber projects — you know where to find us. Quality guaranteed. In the next few days I'll be sharing more close-ups of the machines we run and exactly what each one does. Stay tuned! #DiasporaBuilder #TuoConstruction #TimberWork #WoodWorkshop #MadeInUganda #QualityDoors #TimberFloors #DiCAPITALE

Amazing timberwork inside the tithe barn #AlphabetChallenge #WeekIforInteriors

We aren't making better homes though. . . Most of those high rise towers won't last 50 years. And those new builds in the last 25 years - one around the corner to me was recently purchased and had to be gutted, behind the fiber board facade, timberwork was rotted.

Andy Miller and Arkady Ostrovsky's nostalgic article about the anniversary of the Russian Decembrist uprising ignores why the Decembrists failed and thus why Russians then and since have been unable to bring democracy to Russia. economist.com/christmas-spec… French volunteers fought for the US revolution (1776-1783) and came back with revolutionary ideas which propelled France to have a successful revolution 6 years after the US won independence from Britain in 1789. "Franklin" (Apple TV 2024) is a very good TV mini series about US founding father Benjamin Franklin, based on Stacy Schiff's 2005 book "A Great Improvisation: Franklin, France, and the Birth of America." Similarly since 1990, Ukrainians have led 3 popular uprisings (revolutions) - Granite (1990), Orange (2004) and Euromaidan (2013-2014). Russians - zero. Russian democracy found it difficult to take root in the late 1980s-early 1990s when it was challenged by more powerful red and white imperial nationalist forces who organised two putschs in 1991 and 1993. These red and white imperial nationalist forces became mainstream under Putin. Perhaps we have to conclude Russians are content to be subjects (not citizens like Americans, French, and Ukrainians) and remain slaves of their Tsars and dictators and imperialists. Why the Decembrists still matter Andy Miller Economist Special correspondent, 22 December Back in 2006, when I was The Economist’s correspondent in Moscow, I flew out to Irkutsk, in eastern Siberia. Nominally I was researching an article on Russia’s dismal demography, but my strongest memories are of side excursions. I drove out through the taiga to swim in crystal-clear Lake Baikal. I chatted with a six-fingered shaman beneath a Lenin statue in a city square. And I visited the houses of two Decembrists, a group of idealistic rebels who launched a revolt against the tsar. I draw on that long-ago trip in a Christmas piece I’ve written this year with my friend and colleague Arkady Ostrovsky, our Russia editor. It marks the bicentenary of the Decembrists’ uprising—which, in the modern calendar, took place on December 26th 1825. Theirs is a dramatic story with a rich and ongoing afterlife. The Decembrists were, for the most part, aristocratic military officers who had helped repel Napoleon’s invasion of Russia in 1812 and chased him back to Paris. They returned with bold ideas for reforming the Russian empire: they wanted to emancipate the serfs and, in place of capricious autocracy, enshrine individual rights and the rule of law. A tsarist succession crisis in 1825 gave them an opening, and they mobilised troops for a showdown in wintry St Petersburg. For me, the most poignant aspect of the stirring episode is that many of them didn’t expect to succeed. Rather they thought it was their duty to make a stand, and a sacrifice, for each other and their country’s future.  My visit to Irkutsk offers a clue to the tragic outcome. After a chilly confrontation near the Winter Palace, the rebels were dispersed by cannons. Five leaders were caught and executed. Dozens of others were exiled to Siberia—including Sergei Trubetskoy and Sergei Volkonsky, who eventually settled in Irkutsk. Their wives, Ekaterina and Maria, gave up their wealth and titles to join them. In time, their homes became museums: I remember blue timberwork with ornate window frames, and, inside, an eerie sense of serenity. On a wall was handwritten correspondence from Leo Tolstoy, a relative of Volkonsky. Tolstoy planned to write a novel about the Decembrists—an idea which eventually became “War and Peace”. They inspired other writers and thinkers, too, including dissidents in the Soviet era and, more recently, critics of Vladimir Putin. Mr Putin’s regime, by contrast, regards the Decembrists as odious traitors, just as tsarist propaganda did. That is not surprising. Since my stint in Russia, the country has devolved from nasty authoritarianism to outright dictatorship, in which any sign of political opposition must be squished.  Given that official disapproval, I wonder what the atmosphere is like in those houses in Irkutsk today. Do tourists still pace reverentially through the tranquil rooms, peering at Tolstoy’s handwriting and the piano Maria Volkonsky played in exile? I hope so. Two hundred years on, the thrilling tale of the Decembrists—a saga of honour, bravery and endurance—is as powerful and relevant as ever.

Nonsuch House, a four-story building that once stood on Old London Bridge..... Nonsuch House, completed in 1579 AD, was a striking four-story building that once stood on Old London Bridge. Unlike many structures of its time, it immediately drew attention for both its scale and its intricate design. Its ornate façades, gabled roofs, and decorated timberwork reflected the influence of Dutch Renaissance architecture, making it one of the most eye-catching landmarks on the bridge and a symbol of London’s growing cosmopolitan character. What made Nonsuch House especially remarkable was its method of construction. It is considered the earliest recorded example of a prefabricated building. The entire structure was originally built in the Netherlands, carefully disassembled, and shipped across the North Sea to London in 1578 AD. Each timber beam was meticulously marked, allowing carpenters to reassemble the building on Old London Bridge with great precision, a process that demonstrated remarkable engineering foresight for the late 16th Century AD. Beyond its architectural novelty, Nonsuch House stood as a testament to trade, innovation, and cultural exchange during the Elizabethan era. Its very presence on the bustling bridge underscored the importance of London as an international hub of commerce and ideas. Although it no longer survives, Nonsuch House remains a fascinating chapter in the history of both London and early prefabrication, highlighting a moment when craftsmanship and ingenuity combined to produce something truly ahead of its time. #archaeohistories

The Mastery of Traditional Japanese Craftsmanship: An art passed down from ancient temple carpenters, involving ingenious techniques and the skilful use of complex joinery and joints to assemble wooden structures. However, under current building regulations, it has become exceedingly difficult to construct buildings relying solely on such artisanal timberwork.

The timberwork looks nice; the printed part looks horrendous, in my view.

Most, or all of the timberwork is black paint, painted on the brickwork. Enlarging the photo shows this

Looking up in St. Johns Maddermarket, Norwich is definitely worthwhile. Although greatly altered and modified in 1863, the nave roof is a splendid piece of construction, preserving some fine mediaeval timberwork. More info in the guidebook on our website: visitchurches.org.uk/visit/c…

“All of that woodwork and built in carpentry and plasterwork and moudings etc are original. The only things I can see that aren't are the sink unit (circa 1970s) and the tiled fireplace (circa 1950s) it's amazingly intact. Literally just needs decorating. It's a rare find. Also I bet under all that modern paint is the original paint colours in various degrees of intactness. Dark brown faux woodgrain to all the timberwork and probably some scraps of original wallpaper hangings behind. Would make an unbelievable restoration project as it's so incredibly intact.” (Darren Silk)
