Throwback Thursday to the beginning of one of the biggest projects we’ve undertaken at Blackthorpe Barn.

Back in February, the scaffolding and hoarding started going up as we began the full rethatching of this incredible 16th-century building.

It was quite a sight to see the work get underway, with around 12 highly skilled thatchers spending around 40 days carefully renewing the roof using traditional techniques.

Blackthorpe Barn has been part of Rougham Estate for more than 500 years and remains a real icon of the Estate. Today, it continues to be at the heart of what we do, currently hosting the Artworks East exhibition and in November, transforming into one of our biggest Christmas events, with our much loved Christmas Shop and Arts & Crafts Fair.

So while the thatching may be a traditional craft, the Barn certainly has plenty of life left in it now. 

Here’s a little look back at where the rethatching journey began.
