  2. Old Houses

    Share Share Post
    The houses long ago were covered with sods or heather, others with straw and thatch. After the corn was threshed the straw that was left was used to thatch the houses. Rushes were used by poorer people. The walls long ago were walls of clay and straw mixed.
