- The old houses used to be built with clay called yellow-wee on rods woven in and out. When those mud walled old houses were being made the first thing that was done was sallies were woven together and the foundation was dug. Then the woven sallies were put down tightly into the foundation. The yellow-wee was then plastered on to the woven sallies until it was thick enough to form a sound wall. There used to be a settle bed in kitchen and a press bed in the parlour. There aren't many thatched houses in the district now.
