Clay-walled Houses in Norfolk

In Adam Longcroft's article in VA 37 (2006) about clay-walled houses in Norfolk he does not distinguish between the different methods of using clay for building. This paper looks at the range of techniques available. In some processes aggregates and fibrous material were added, in some the clay was made into blocks, some with and some without fibrous material. The difference between unfired and under-fired bricks is clarified. The author reiterates his argument presented in VA 18 (1987) that the clay lump process was introduced to Norfolk from Cambridgeshire in the nineteenth century, and is not part of a continuous Norfolk building tradition from the medieval period
