One of the main types of churches was the basilica
There are many different basic features in churches built in the medieval ages. One of the main Roman churches was the "Basilica." It was built in 308 – 312 C.E In the Romans Empire. The Basilica was built for tribunals, but it also brought in different types of businesses. The shape of the building was rectangular with a long central portion which is the hall made out of nave. The interior reaches their fullest height. The main part of this building was a dome roof shape.

Medieval House Architecture
Wattle and Daub, houses were taller and wider, then a simple stick and straw houses. Also offered better protection from weather. Middle age houses are one of the most interesting styled homes that were created throughout history. None of the houses looked very attractive or comforting. Houses back then were rather dark and uncomforting, there were a lot of issues with construction back in the middle ages homes, this is why certain precautions had to be made in order to prevent damage or issues down the road. Many things we take advantage of today, were quite expensive during the middle ages, or were just unavailable. Glass were one of these items, they did not use glass as windows, they were little cut outs in the wall, they were often small, sparse, and would be boarded up in the evening.

Average and wealthy houses
The average size of a middle aged house was often small and housed the entire family, their floors were not finished, many family's had straw or dirt floors that added to dampness. Most houses only had a couple of rooms for a whole family, these spaces/rooms also included, cooking, resting and family time area. Most family tie was extremely limited since most of the homes were peasants, the whole family basically worked to be able to support the whole family. The wealthy homes were a huge difference compared to the peasants homes. Since the middle ages houses that were owned by the wealthier people would sometimes be visited by royalty. They were often a great deal larger than those of peasants. URL: thefinertimes.com Title: Houses in the middle ages Author Newman, Simon Published:
