Variation in the survival rate of timber-framed buildings in two Sussex parishes, by Diana Chatwin, published 2003 in Vernacular architecture (vol. 34, article, pp.32-36) accessible at: British Library   View Online
Abstract:
During the recording of the timber-framed houses in the adjacent parishes of Slinfold and Rudgwick, it became evident that there was a significant difference in the survival rate of houses in the two parishes. There are eighty-nine surviving timber-framed houses of all ages in Rudgwick, but only forty-five in Slinfold. Allowing for the smaller acreage of Slinfold parish, this gives 14.8 houses per 1000 acres in Rudgwick, compared with 10.6 for Slinfold. This article seeks to explain why this may be so, and also places the survival rates for these two parishes within the wider context of those for other West Sussex parishes.
