Renovation work during 1985 uncovered two roofs of considerable interest which were brought to the notice of the Wiltshire Buildings record. The Manor House at Upton Scudamore is examined first and its complex architecture described in detail; a paragraph details its history. A town house at Bradford-on-Avon is the subject of the second part of this article. Some features such as base cracks, crown posts with trussed rafters, etc., are compared. A discussion centering on the roofs of these structures leads to the setting of approximate dates for their erection, the first one during the 14th century, and the second one, late 14th or early 15th century. -- AATA
