Contact the Cob Cottage Co for more details. I know very little. I think it
happened about 3 or 4 years ago and the builder was experimenting with a
corbled dome, in other words, he may have really been pushing the limits. I
understand that he was also an experienced cobber, but again I am weak on
details so don't quote me.
