- 208Old HousesVery few of the houses long ago were slated, they were all thatched. The thatch was oaten straw and wheaten straw. The old floors were made of clay and flagstones. Bushes and Bochauns were burned in the fires.
Little lamps on the hob with no glass on them were used for light and candles which they made themselves.

[My mother Mrs Leacy (- 40 yrs - ) told me this]Brigid Lacy
Monamolin, Gorey, Co Wexford. - The houses in olden times were built with mud walls mixed with straw and roofed with timber & lined wth sods usually called scraws (or rushes) & then thatched with straw or rushes.
Some chimneys were made with boards. Some of the houses had holes for windows called peep-holes.
The fire was flat on the hearth and paved all around with small stones.
The light used at night was a twisted rush steeped in tallow or grease.My father Mr Kehoe (50 yrs) told me this.Eileen Kehoe
