stuart's reminder of it raining halfway through is the strongest argument
for felting...

i guess the roofer will take the slates off first,
cover it with plastic,
then the wood people will replace the rotten rafters and spray them
then recover with plastic,
then the roofer will put in battens and felt
then slowly fit slates over the top...

it's a complicated roof,
and last summer it rained and rained,
and i have computers and books etcetera in the rooms below,
and very fancy plaster in some of the rooms below

what do roofing contractors do in rainy weather?

Without felt you'd be in trouble if it rained halfway through the job.
Certainly easier than lugging tarpaulins over the roof
