Plenty of wonderful historic thatched buildings at the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum in Sussex. Here are some great pictures (Courtesy of the Museum) along with some information on them. It shows that thatch is timeless. Not just the thatching, but the buildings are fascinating and worth visiting to see in real life.
