  1. Old Houses

    Share Share Post
    Long ago the house were thatched with wheaten or Oaten straw. The 'settled' beds were put up in to kitchen; the front of the chimney was made of clay and wattle. Half doors are still common and they were common formerly. Coal and turf were used as firewood: and candles made from rushes as light.
