Tudor House, Timber Framed Building, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England, UK, GB.


The houses and buildings of ordinary people were typically timber framed. Timber framing on the upper floors of a house started appearing after 1400 CE in Europe and originally it was a method used to keep water from going back into the walls, instead being redirected back to the soil.[19][20] The frame was usually filled with wattle and daub but occasionally with brick.[2] These houses were also slower to adopt the latest trends, and the great hall continued to prevail.[17] Fireplaces were quite large by modern standards, and intended to heat as much of the home as possible as well as cook upon them because in this period England was much more prone to snow.
