Farm Cottage at St Fagans Museum

St Fagans is an outdoor museum near Cardiff in Wales, UK. Buildings of historic interest have been collected from around Wales and reassembled on the site to illustrate ways of life in the past.

This cottage dates from about 1760. It is made of "clom" (rammed earth with straw). The windows are very small, so what light there is comes from the open door.

It is basically one large room. There is a semi-balcony above the bed. The parents and the youngest child would have slept in the bed with the other children on the upper level, which was also used for storing food, equipment and textiles.

There was no ceiling, the beams were directly under the thatch.
