Building record 1826/0/2 - Manor Cottage, Aldersey

Please read our .

Summary

Grade II listed cottage built in the 17th century and later altered and cased in brick in the 19th century. It has a grey slate roof and is two storeys high. Inside there is an inglenook fireplace and internal oak framing. Wood was in plentiful supply as a building material in Britain until the 17th century. It was therefore the most practical material for house building. Timber framed buildings consist of a wooden framework (usually oak) that was infilled to create solid walls. Infill material used included wattle and daub, lath and plaster, brick and weather board. Brick nogging, (brick infill) was often used in the 17th and 18th centuries to replace earlier wattle and daub or lath and plaster infill as it was longer lasting.
