Thatch Craftsmanship at Rectory Farm Appreciation of this beautiful thatched roof is somewhat marred by the cottage's position right next to the A14, which is a murderously busy dual carriageway (on the line of a Roman Road). This section of the A14 will soon be bypassed and hopefully the existing road will become a lot quieter.
