    Share Share Post
    In olden days the houses were mostly all thatched. The thatch was chiefly wheaten straw, heath also long grass called "Fionán" and rushes. All these were grown on the farms of the people.
    Most people in olden days had "settle beds" in the kitchen. By day they were folded up with the bed clothes enclosed, and were used to form seats. They had also what they called "press beds" which also folded up like a cupboard and the "taster" beds had hoods made of timber over them.
