This reconstruction of a medieval flint cottage
is based on archaeological evidence obtained from the deserted village of Hangleton
and enables children to imagine life in 13th century when many
families would have had this sort of cottage as their home. The people who
lived in this type of dwelling were not very poor. They were farmers who
owned a small amount of land. The poor lived in simple wooden shacks.

A
small, thatched dwelling which immediately puts me in mind of Hobbits and
other mythical creatures. A good starting point for an adventure story for
fairytale/legend…an adventure story to entertain and enthral and to escape
from reality. |
