When renowned craftsman Robert Somerville moved to Hertfordshire, he fell in love with a landscape rich in wild-life and filled with elm trees. Nestled in London's commuter belt, this wooded farmland inspired Somerville, a lifelong woodworker, to put into practice an ancient craft and hand-raise one of the most iconic, enduring buildings found in Britain's countryside - the wooden barn. Barn Club follows the building of Carley Barn. Over the course of a year, volunteers from all walks of life joined Robert's 'Barn Club', inspired to learn traditional skills and embrace the beautiful surroundings and quiet joy of making something that endures. Throughout the book, Robert weaves in the history of the elm tree: its historic importance to the landscape and remarkable survival in the face of the devastating Dutch elm disease. Barn Club calls on us to look at our landscape more intimately and to explore the joys of making beautiful things by hand, together. Book jacket.
