The walls of the frame were panelled with wattle and daub and plastered with quick lime and earth, a process also referred to as whitewashing. The colour of the local soil gave the plaster vibrant white, yellow or red colour, depending on the minerals present. The roof was usually made out of straw, reeds and other dried vegetation, commonly referred to as a thatched roof. There were no panes of glass in the windows. Instead, wooden shutters were used, closed at night or during winter, and would have made the houses quite draughty. Although this draught would have lowered the overall temperature of the house, it would have provided much-needed ventilation to combat the high concentration of smoke from the fire, and the smells of both animals and people living in close quarters. The floors were of hard, compacted earth sometimes covered in straw for warmth. The materials made the building relatively easy to erect and to maintain, because the components were readily available and frequently free to obtain.]]> 2017-02-07 12:49:21 UTC https://padlet.com/22mullenms/pt71tn8qlc7/wish/152106745 22mullenms https://padlet.com/22mullenms/pt71tn8qlc7/wish/152110065 The plague was one of the biggest killers of the Middle Ages – it had a devastating effect on the population of Europe in the 14th and 15th centuries. Also known as the Black Death, the plague (caused by the bacterium called Yersinia pestis) was carried by fleas most often found on rats. It had arrived in Europe by 1348, and thousands died in places ranging from Italy, France and Germany to Scandinavia, England, Wales, Spain and Russia]]> 2017-02-07 13:02:10 UTC https://padlet.com/22mullenms/pt71tn8qlc7/wish/152110065 22mullenms https://padlet.com/22mullenms/pt71tn8qlc7/wish/152110604 They were almost like slaves. The people could not be bought and sold, but they could not leave their land without permission. Their land could be bought and sold.
