Welcome to our house. I live here with my husband Henry. He's taking the oats to the mill<ref>mill = place where corn is ground into flour<br>[[File:Poldermolen Zwaantje, Nijemirdum. 26-05-2020 (actm.) 06.jpg|100px]]</ref> today as one of his services to the Lord of the Manor. We have two girls, Emily who is 8 and Matilda who is 6. They are out in the wood collecting fallen branches for the fire.

__NOTOC__
The walls are made of [[Wharram Percy/Glossary#Wattle and Daub|Wattle and Daub]]. That's thin branches of wood woven together and then covered with Daub, a mixture of clay, oxhair and dung. The roof is thatched with straw that we are given by the Lord. It’s a bit leaky<ref>leaky = A roof is leaky, if it isn't waterproof and rain comes through</ref> now but it's the harvest soon and we will repair it then. It's a bit dark inside as there is only one very small window. Only the Manor House and the church can afford glass in their windows. We put up a wooden shutter to keep the draughts out. We built the house with the help of our neighbours John the Carter and his wife Jane.  
[[File:Tapestry Loom-colored.svg|thumb|right|300px|This is Molly’s '''weaving loom'''.  Her husband made it for her. She dyes the wool with berries from the wood.]]
We all wear a tunic and leggings like the one I'm wearing now. In winter we wrap a big hood over our head and shoulders to try and keep up warm. The cloth is coarse<ref>coarse = rough, hard, not polished</ref> wool and it's very itchy<ref>If something  itches, you must scratch yourself</ref>. Henry made himself a pair of wooden shoes, I wear cloth wrapped around my feet, its more comfortable. Some of the richer villagers buy leather shoes but many, especially children, go barefoot. Henry's prized possession is a sheepskin he wears in winter. We also use it as a bed cover.


[[File:Thatched_Roof_Inside_View.jpg|thumb|300px|center|thatched Roof]]
I always carry a small spindle with me and I make yarn whenever I have a few spare minutes between jobs. We have two sheep on the [[Wharram Percy/Glossary#common|common]]. I sell the yarn to Molly the smith's wife who has a weaving loom. We buy cloth from her or the travelling weaver who visits the village.


Its smoky inside, there’s no chimney. Your eyes will get used to the light in a minute. Yes there's only the one room. A few of the villagers have two rooms in their house. It is a bit crowded especially in winter when we keep our cow at the end of the room. That's right: the floor is just  flattened earth.
== Clothing for the Rich ==
The Lord and Lady and their family wear very different clothes to us. They have fine wool made by skilled weavers in Malmesbury in Wiltshire. They also have clothes of silk, velvet and fine linen, some of this is woven by Belgian craftsmen who are said to be the best in the world. Both men and the women wear very bright colours. The ladies usually wear long dresses and for banquets they have very tall hats. The men wear short tunics with very fancy sleeves and tights. I'm very envious of their fine leather shoes and that they have more than one set of clothes. Lady Percy and her daughters have gold thread in their gowns when they are at special events like the tournament.  


As you can see the room is very bare, some small wooden stools, a table and a wooden chest in which we keep all our belongings. That's the water jug on the table. I have to go and fill it about five times a day. It's quite a walk to the stream and back. We all sleep in the corner of the room on a bed of straw. Henry is going to build a bed when he has time so we don't have to lie on the floor. The smoke from the fire in the middle of the room is the worst thing, the children never stop coughing<ref>to cough [kɒf] = If you can't breathe, you must cough (=husten)</ref> in winter.

Put in the correct words in the gaps:
<div class="lueckentext-quiz" lang="en">
In the medieval ages people didn't have a ''bedroom''. They were "making" their bed in the ''great hall'' of a manor or in the only room of a farm house.


When they were tired they put all the ''benches'' next to the wall and rolled out their ''bed rolls'' onto the floor.

Only the richest people had their own bed. It had four posts in all the corners and a panel on top of it. It helped against ''bedbugs'' falling from the ceiling.

This is Molly’s weaving loom. Her husband made it for her. She dyes the wool with berries from the wood.

We all wear a tunic and leggings like the one I'm wearing now. In winter we wrap a big hood over our head and shoulders to try and keep up warm. The cloth is coarse[1] wool and it's very itchy[2]. Henry made himself a pair of wooden shoes, I wear cloth wrapped around my feet, its more comfortable. Some of the richer villagers buy leather shoes but many, especially children, go barefoot. Henry's prized possession is a sheepskin he wears in winter. We also use it as a bed cover.
