New Thatched Roof
Everyone loves the look of a new thatched roof. It makes the perfect choice for our next picture competition. It can be a brand new thatched property with a new thatch or even a 500 year old timber framed historic landmark which has had its latest new thatched roof.
Whether you are the property owner, proud master thatcher who created it or a passer by, get snapping and send in your pictures of any newly thatched roof. It might even be just a thatched porch or a summerhouse, detached, listed or even part of a terrace.
We are starting this competition in September 2026 and look forward to receiving your entries.
