What is it?

Wattle and daub is a very popular Tudor way of building houses. Instead of using bricks or stone, many Tudor houses were built with wooden frames. In between the wooden beams, the builders would weave a lattice of thin wooden strips called "wattle". Next, they would spread it with "daub" - a sticky, wet material usually made of mud, clay or straw. Sometimes, instead of mud, they would use cow dung! Wattle and daub has been used since the stone age and is still used in many areas of the world to create strong, cheap walls and buildings.
