Most Anglo-Saxons lived in small single-roomed huts. Even the wealthiest lived in one-roomed huts, but as these were bigger, we call them 'hall houses'.
Houses were made of wood, with thatched rooves. The walls were made of poles and the spaces between filled in with planks of wood or a mesh of twigs (called wattle) and then weatherproofed with a coating of mud, dung and straw (called daub).
