Thatched Houses

The UK is covered in these traditional thatched homes and roofs. People choose to live in thatched houses despite the high insurance premiums. These can be many times more expensive than a traditional home, especially if you own a wood burner or open fireplace. This central asset used to be an old toll house. This one is well know as it is on the way to a large stone circle called Stanton Drew in Somerset, GB. The hares on the roof are the signature of the thatchers who make them.
