We live in Nantwich which is in Cheshire. In Nantwich there are lots of Tudor houses.

We are going to describe the houses to you. Tudor houses are made of

timber. Timber is a good material because it is hard and strong. The Tudors used straw for their roofs because the straw is waterproof. The straw is also a bad material because animals eat it. The animals that eat the straw are squirrels and birds.

Wattle and daub is a good material for Tudor houses because it is sticky and when you mix it up it will go stiff. The problem with this material is it is made from manure, therefore it smells.

Glass is a good material because it is transparent, this means you can see through it. This material can also break and you may cut yourself.
