- The houses of long ago were thatched. There was a bed in the kitchen. The fireplace was in a corner of the house, some of the houses had no chimneys. The fire was entirely made of turf. The floors were made of clay and sand. There was no glass in the windows only a bit of wood which you could pull in or out. There was a half-door in every house long ago and they are in some houses still.
