The 17th century cottages have a box-framework transmitting the weight of the roof to the round. This construction meant that non-structural materials could be used in the spaces between the framing - usually wattle and daub. During the late 17th century, this was often replaced with brickwork. These cottages have brick noggings on a rubble stone plinth.
