  1. Old Houses

    Share Share Post
    In olden times it was the custom of the people to live in thatched houses and in mud cabins. These houses were divided in two by a coop for the hens and a dresser. These houses were very small containing only a room and a kitchen.
    They slept in beds which were hung up on the walls in the day and let down at night. Others slept in taster beds which were warm having a hood over them.
    In some parts of the country the horses and cos were kept in the kitchen.
