Shustoke Gothic Doors





Emanuel Hendry are currently on site installing 4 gothic door sets as part of a major refurbishment of a brick threshing barn near Birmingham.


The arched frames, constructed from dried oak, are to be set within a flush glazed opening to draw natural light into this deep plan building. They will form the centre pieces to this future wedding venue, and juxtapose traditional joinery techniques with more contemporary glazing details.

Arch Brace North Bovey Dartmoor

We have recently finished our installation of a new roof for a barn undergoing conversion to a home near North Bovey.    An arch braced truss design with canted collar and jointed cruck post was used to span the 7m master bedroom footprint.  Elsewhere we incorporated a jettied plank and muntin screen and balcony handrail in the bedroom 2 / landing cross frame.
