My friend, Charley Brentnall, who has died aged 67, was an expert in the building and restoration of timber-framed buildings.
Charley’s work included the re-creation of the roof at Windsor Castle and the conservation of the huts used by Scott and Shackleton in Antarctica. He also dismantled and reconstructed the Sotherington barn at Bedales school in Hampshire, with the help of the school’s pupils.
