Most thatched-roof houses in the British Isles are remnants of an earlier time, dating to the 19th century or even as far back as the 16th. But as 21st-century buyers build second homes in the countryside, they often choose to have the older, rustic look thatching gives.
What era were thatched cottages?
The Howick House, a few miles east of Alnwick in England, dating as far back as the Mesolithic era (8,000 to 2,700 BC) is known to have been thatched.
What era are thatched roofs from?
Thatched roofing has a long history that began with temporary shelters for nomadic peoples. Between 5000 and 1800 B.C., the first hunter-gatherers colonized the areas between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea and eventually settled there long-term.
