    (continued from previous page)
    There was usually a bed in the kitchen and under it the ducks slept.
    The fire-place was situated in the wall between the room and the kitchen and the front of the (kitchen) chimney was made of wattles and clay.
    In former times the windows used in the houses were made of wood in the shape of little doors hung on hinges.
    The floors were made of clay and flags, half doors were very common in the olden times and are to day. When turf was scarce timber was used and bog sod.
