- The kind of houses that they had long ago were thatched roofs and clay walls. These houses had thatched roofs. This thatch was made of wheaten straw. The old houses had a bed in the attic. The comon name for it known by the people around is pook. It was placed over the fireplace. The way they got up to it is they had a table with a chair upon it and they climb up on the table and chair. Sometimes they got up on it with a ladder.
