The Thatch & Thatching of the EAMTA

 

The National Council of Master Thatchers Associations

Ten of the County-based Master Thatchers Association, many of which began in 1947, joined together in 1987 to form the National Council.

Thatching trade guilds never existed in earlier times, possibly because of the diverse rural spread of the trade.  Modern communications enabled contact between craftsmen when a free flow of ideas began after 1947.  This has led to a rapid modern development of this ancient trade.

The thatching trade associations that began in 1947 were formed mostly from the existing major thatching families then predominant in the trade.  Today’s members are trade descendants from these origins and have learnt their skills through a mix of intense training and on-site experience.

The East Anglia Master Thatchers Association is recognised by the National Council as being the effective organisation representing the craft in the region.
