Engravings as Evidence of Dovecotes
Some engravings published in 1690, 1707 and 1712 provide valuable information about dovecotes and other ancillary buildings. Today, where dovecotes survive, they are isolated or are in totally changed surroundings, and most have been altered for secondary uses. The engravings record them in their contemporary contexts before the modern alterations. At that period, many dovecotes were changing from vernacular to 'polite' architecture, and more win…
A Vernacular Window of 1618
This paper analyses a painting by Pieter Breughel the Younger, dated 1618, that illustrates a window with forest glass and cloth fenestrals, in a vernacular context
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 reiterat…

The Origin of Clay Lump in England
The use of clay lump in England is traced back to an earlier form, the thinner (but otherwise similar) 'clay bats', which were used to construct the nest-boxes of dovecotes in the late eighteenth century. From 1791 clay bats were used to build cottages in Cambridgeshire. By 1821 the blocks were being made deeper, and were called 'clay lumps
Is Clay Lump a Traditional Building Material
Many reputable writers have asserted that building with clay lump (or clay bat) is an ancient tradition in East Anglia, traceable to the early seventeenth century or earlier. The basis for this belief is found to be unconvincing. There is no reliable evidence of clay lump construction anywhere in Britain before the 1790s, and there is substantial evidence that it was unknown earlier to those most likely to be well informed. The first recorded bui…
