Summary

Meadow Farmhouse, Cinder Lane. Late 16th century with considerable later 20th century repairs. Timber framing and rendered brick. Welsh slate roof. In the interior the entry into cross-passage a timber-framed partition partly survives. 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.
