The Group

The Somerset Vernacular Building Research Group is a voluntary organisation founded in 1979 to record and study the traditional houses and buildings of the historic county of Somerset. Of particular interest are the smaller manor houses, farmhouses, cottages and farm buildings which are in the local style and built of local materials.
The Group has a membership of about 60 people from all walks of life who have an interest in traditional buildings; new members are most welcome. For those wishing to get involved in documentary or practical house surveys “on-the-job” guidance and help will be given.
The group typically meets in Somerton on the 3rd Wednesday of the month for an evening talk over the winter months and arranges visits in the summer.
