thatchers
Cottage roof builders
Thatchers are people who thatch—who build or repair roofs using straw, reeds, or similar plant materials.
The craft is ancient but still practiced, particularly in rural Britain where thatched cottages remain.
The thatchers worked through the summer to restore the village roofs.
