Archaeological excavations and architectural recording are constantly throwing new light upon the variety of medieval buildings. This paper collects together some of the recent work upon plank-walled buildings and suggests that they may have formed a significant proportion of the building stock of early medieval England. With that proposal in mind, the timber church of St. Lawrence at Rushton Spencer in N. Staffordshire is interpreted as a plank-walled structure, probably of thirteenth-century date. The earliest surviving part of the crown-post roof is held to be contemporary with the plank-filled wall-frame
