Wallingford Museum

EmanuelHendry is currently designing a new extension for the Wallingford museum.

The frame will be cut with the assistance of volunteers and the Carpenters fellowship www.carpentersfellowship.co.uk.

The design follows the local vernacular of timber framing in and around Wallingford. With each frame representing a different stage in the towns history. It aims to be an exhibit itself as well as a much needed exhibition space. The museum is currently raising the funding for the build so follow this web link for news. www.wallingfordmuseum.org.uk/framing_the_future.htm
