In Part 3, Tommy and Laurence talk about some of the other thatched houses they remember, and discuss alternative thatching materials, including marram grass, heather, and rushes. Each has its own qualities, with different materials likely to be used in different areas. Care needs to be taken when gathering roofing materials.
(Marram grass in particular is valued for protecting sand dunes in coastal areas, and is monitored by NatureScot.)
