- Nearly all the houses here in former times were one storey, and all of them had but one door which was in the front of the house.
The majority of the houses in former times had a bed in the kitchen as there were but two or three rooms in the house.
This bed was called a settle-bed.
The front of the chimney was usually made of yellow clay or wattles.
This yellow clay was found in certain parts of the land.- Collector
