The houses in a medieval village would typically be small and made of wood, with a thatched roof. The walls would be made of wattle and daub, a mixture of mud and straw. The floors would be made of packed earth or stone. The windows would be small and covered with shutters. There would be a fireplace in the main room, which would also serve as the kitchen. The bedrooms would be small and located upstairs. The houses would typically have a garden, where the villagers would grow vegetables, fruits, and herbs.
