Building houses using the rural skills of thatching, timber framing and flint knapping. Anna Hill travels around Norfolk to visit craftsmen. Steven Letch and apprentice Boz are re-thatching a traditional cottage in Bressingham. They want thatching to be used much more frequently in new build housing.

John Lord is a flint knapper - a traditional way of chipping flint to use it to decorate the walls of building. Flint knapping is no longer popular, but flint is still being used as a building material.

And John Falvey is re-discovering the traditional architecture of timber framing. He mixes old knowledge with modern techniques to build new houses.

The presenter is Anna Hill and the producer is Emma Weatherill.
